Hello,

I have an USB mouse which works fine under X and GPM. Sometimes I need to
plug my mouse into the PS/2 conector, so I use an original adaptor USB->PS/2.
Under X I only set /dev/psaux protocol IMPS2 and my mouse works perfectly.
Under GPM my gpm server oops saying:

Jul 25 23:11:08 notas gpm[827]: write_ps2: 1 0, 8
Jul 25 23:11:08 notas gpm[827]: PS/2 mouse failed init
Jul 25 23:11:08 notas gpm[827]: oops() invoked from gpm.c(1019)
Jul 25 23:11:08 notas gpm[827]: mouse initialization failed: Inappropriate
ioctl for device

I run it as

gpm -m /dev/psaux -t exps2

originally I run it as
gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t exps2

I use gpm version
gpm 1.19.6 included in debian woody distribution
kernel 2.4.19-rc3 from ftp.kernel.org
libc6 2.2.5-10 included in debian woody distribution

Thanks for your help

Michal
