gpm :-)

There is always a mouse :-) on tumbleweed , when logging on as root with

CTL+ALT+F1 , gpm does not seem to produce a mouse :

- any tips please how to make gpm work ? Not long ago, yast handled the mouse configuration in text mode. The module was removed when YaST migrated to ruby. Nowdays you have to configure it by trial and error, with a config file.

There should be a "/etc/sysconfig/mouse" file. In my case (logitech trackmarble+):

MOUSEDEVICE="/dev/psaux" MOUSETYPE="exps2"

Those two should suffice, I think, but there are more (obsolete, probably):

YAST_MOUSE="20_imps2" XMOUSEDEVICE="/dev/psaux" BUTTONS="3" WHEELS="1" XMOUSETYPE="imps/2"

With those two, start gpm as any other service. rcgpm start, for instance. If your mouse doesn't work with those two variables (different type), then you have to find the proper setting by reading the man page and trying.
