Hardware: Gateway 2000 P5-75
Software: Slackware 2.3.0, Linux 1.2.8, PS/2 mouse driver
Problem: Whenever gpm tries to start, I get the message:
gpm: /dev/mouse: No such device
/dev/mouse is sym-linked to psaux (10,1). Yes, the mouse is plugged into
the port, and it worked fine under Wind-doze. I have recompiled the
kernel to include only the PS/2 mouse driver, and also with the 82C710
support. I have also previously tried Microsoft bus mouse and I think I
tried LogiTech, but the docs for the computer say it is a PS/2 "style"
mouse connector, and I have seen several other references -- the Busmouse
HOWTO and a couple of posts -- which say this is the right configuration.
I'm including the .config file at the end of this post.
It's late, I'm tired, so if I did something stoopid, just remember, it
could happen to you...
