Trying out new changes
by Steve Mulligan - Jun 1st 2007 11:37:02
I'm excited to see new changes to gpm! I can't wait to play with them
(even if it doesn't compile right away).
I've got a synaptics touch pad that doesn't "scroll" with the
version from the ubuntu repo.

gpm doesnt work after shutting down X
by Ryan Mesler - Jun 13th 2002 02:11:05
gpm works just fine at boot. no problemo. when i start X up it'll even work
sometimes when i switch from X to the console. sometimes when i do that
however, i get an error that says "== ERROR ==
/var/tmp/portage/gpm-.1.20.0" (im running gentoo)
when i shut down X, it does that too, but it happens just about everytime
(it managed to NOT happen twice). the way i installed gpm was via the
portage system built into gentoo. i've posted numerous posts on the message
boards asking for help and was even accused in the #gentoo chat that it was
MY settings and not the OS. *MY* settints are correct. i have a ps/2
logitech wheel mouse and i've got MOUSE=PS/2 and MOUSEDEV=/dev/psaux
someone said that i could use the -R option to sync X and the gpm server
or some such but i didn't quite get it. i read the manpage concerning that
but it's a bit over my head.
please help! i've used gpm in other distros with NO problems whatsoever. i
rely on it probably way too much. this is really bothering me :(
thanks!
ryan

Updated?!
by Sumit Khanna - Feb 23rd 2002 15:59:20
Oh my gosh! I remember building a Linux from scratch and having to get a
howto to fix the compile problem. I can't belive after all this time the
project has actually been updated. Awesome! Feel the power of the console!

Curses!
by Dannel Albert - Oct 19th 2001 21:18:31
I'm not sure if this is a problem relating to gpm or
ncurses, but I downloaded the gpm source so that I
could compile it and gain mouse support in curses
that support ncurses. However, after recompiling
gpm, I still have no luck getting it to work (in the
console). mouse support will work in a terminal in X
though. Any ideas on what I need to do to get it
working? Thanks.

Re: Curses!

I'm not sure what you mean, but AFAIK the application must support and be
linked against libgpm for mouse support on Linux console. A few
applications from Slackware 8.0 support it, Midnight Commander one of them.
And forget it if you're using GNU screen since it's not supported (yet).
BTW, you can recompile ncurses with libgpm support to have mouse support
with Lynx on console. And yes, they work with XFree86.
Anyway, I'm just an user, and gpm is a must. I recommend you write to
the mailing-list instead. They know everything and can really help you (the
mailing-list is open).

Hrm.. I was trying to write a small ncurses program
that had mouse support and I wasn't linking against
libgpm but I took your advice and linked against it.
Still, mouse support only works in X :( Do you have
any other ideas? ...I guess the mailing list
isn't such a bad idea. :)

Can't get it to compile in Slackware 8

For some odd reason, I can't get this version of gpm
to compile. This is where it stops:

chmod 400 gpm.texinfo
touch gpm.oo
if [ -n "`ls gpm.?? gpm.aux 2>/dev/null`" ]; then \
for i in `ls gpm.?? gpm.aux 2>/dev/null`; do cp
$i $i~; done; \
tex gpm.texinfo \
old="`ls gpm.??~ gpm.aux~ 2>/dev/null | sed
's/~//g'`"; \

need="n"; \
if test "$old" != "$new"; then
need="y"; \
else \
for i in `ls gpm.?? gpm.aux 2>/dev/null`; do \
cmp -s $i $i~; if test $? -ne 0; then
need="y" break; fi; \
done; \
fi; \
if test "$need" = "y"; then \
texindex gpm.?? && tex gpm.texinfo; \
fi; \
fi

It sits there and waits for me to do something. I'm not
familiar with tex at all so I wouldn't know where to
begin looking to try and fix this.
Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?
