退出X后gpm的问题

frenzy

很多次退出X以后gpm就开始失灵。一动鼠标屏幕最上面就光标乱闪。而且会自己paste内容。如何解决？多谢！
鼠标为Logitech Optical Wheelmouse USB转换成PS2接口用. 在gpm里定义为ps2。

Slackware 9.1 with some current packages.

我以前贴过一个方法吧，你找一下吧，在家，没linux用

就是，而且我照了楼上的方法试过了，没用，在gpm的man page里说过这个问题，可是我找不到那个/dev下的目录。

As a last resort, gpm can be used for the mouse data:

The General Pupose Mouse (gpm) program is that thingy used to show and use the
mouse in the text console.  It has a mode where it can take in the mouse data
and spit it out (translate) into Mouse System protocol.  It spits it out into a
named FIFO called "/dev/gpmdata".  There are some mouse protocols that gpm
understands that XFree86 can not, so gpm is useful in translating the unknown
mouse movements into something XF68 knows.  In the case of bus mice, to use the
mouse in both text console and X, gpm is pretty much required (something about
the bus mouse only allowed to be opened once).

To set gpm up as a repeater (the translation mode), create a named FIFO called
"/dev/gpmdata" (need to be root):

bash# mkfifo /dev/gpmdata


This FIFO should be chown'd to the uid of the gpm that will run.  In most
cases, it'll be root (by being exectued from an rc script):

bash# chown root /dev/gpmdata


Preferably, the FIFO should be chmod'd to 644, so that any random process won't
mangle mouse data, and it can always be read.

bash# chmod 644 /dev/gpmdata


Alternatively, just "chmod 666 /dev/gpmdata" without chown'ing if you don't
expect any rogue processes/users screwing around with the mouse data.


In X, set it to use Mouse System (I think) protocol, using /dev/gpmdata as the
device.


In the rc script (or whenever else gpm is being started), gpm needs to be
passed the "-R" (repeater) option.  On Red Hat (-based?) boxen, it's in
/etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm.  On Debian boxen, /etc/init.d/gpm.

Also, gpm would need to be configured to recognize the mouse first.  If
the mouse works in text console, no need to fiddle with that.  Otherwise...
umm... /etc/sysconfig/mouse in RH5.2, /etc/gpm.conf in Debian.


All this is documented somewhere in one of the HOWTOs, but I can't recall which
one.

我的做法:
mkinfo /dev/gpmdata
chown root /dev/gpmdata
chmod 644 /dev/gpmdata
在XF86Config中
Option    "rotocol"    "MouseSystems"
Option    "Device"      "/dev/gpmdata"
改gpm的起动命令为:
/usr/sbin/gpm -R msc -m /dev/mouse -t imps2
然后,能在退出X后使用gpm了,就是在X中不能使用滚轮了

I just installed gpm after reading your setup.
My PS/2 mouse instantly left the screen, and
X would make a beep sound whenever i moved
the mouse. My settings were:

device: /dev/psaux
type: autops2
repeat type: m83

Those were the defaults provided by gpm, so i
just took them. I think that the repeat type and
type may be wrong though. If anyone here is using
gpm with a PS/2, please send me your settings.

I backed up my XF86Config-4 file first, then i
added the SampleRate, BaudRate, and device
you mention above. I did end up getting my old
mouse back, but i would like a second try at
getting this wheel to work. Perhaps i should
RTFM or something...
