Works fine under 2.5.x. My usual mouse is a Logitech Cordless TrakMan Wheel, plugged into the mouse port (not USB). The symptoms are the same when using a MS Intellimouse or old MS PS2 mouse. With the logitech, gpm loads without complaint if -t imsp2 is specified, but on first mouse move compains "invalid ioctl for device". If loaded with -t ms, it doesn't complain. In both cases, the mouse produces only erratic responses. In /var/log/messages I find: gpm[283]: Skipping a data packet (?) Using a MS Intellimouse, the symptoms are the same (erratic responses), but there are no complaints to the console, or in any log files. There is a message in messages: gpm[292]: imps2: Auto-detected standard PS/2 The same happens with the old mouse, except that there is no auto-detect message. Under XFree86, the mouse is completely unresponsive, whichever mouse is used, and whether gpm was loaded first or not. There are no warnings or errors in the XFree86.log, and all normal mouse related messages are present. There are no errors or warnings produced during boot or module loading in any log file or dmesg; with only this exception: ACPI-0202: Warning: Invalid table signature ASF! found ACPI-0095: Error: Acpi_load_tables: Error getting required tables (DSDT/FADT/FACS): AD_BAD_SIGNATURE ACPI-0116: Error: Acpi_load_tables: Could not load tables: AE_BAD_SIGNATURE System is Slackware 8.1, with upgrades: XFree86 4.3, dropline-gnome, KDE 3.1. Mouse support is _not_ built as a module. There is no support for USB HID. Possibly also if interest - the keyboard will not auto-repeat. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
