Mouse goes haywire on changing terminals.
Hello,
I have a generic ps/2 mouse, and everytime i switch between virtual consoles my mouse goes completely haywire, it starts sending select and clicks even if i just move it.
do i need to configure the mouse seprately for the console? or has my ps/2 port simply lost it. I know its not my mouse coz i have tried it with different and new ones.
Thanx.

not sure if this is the problem. but is gpm running and please check if there are any tunable settings in /etc/gpm.conf.

Re: Mouse goes haywire on changing terminals.
Hello,
You may know that both "gpm" and X11 use the same device for sending data to the mouse (normally /dev/psaux).
It is generally recommended to avoid running both "gpm" and graphical interface at the same time.
However, there is a method to make "gpm" run together with the X11 device. To do so, make sure of the protocol being used by the X11 driver for accessing the mouse. In general, it is PS/2 but it can be another one. Check in /etc/X11/XF86Config[-4].
Type "ps -efl | grep gpm" to check the current input parameters.
Kill the gpm process and launch it again with the appropriate options :
/usr/sbin/gpm -t ps/2 -m /dev/psaux
To check how to make it definitive, post another message with the distribution you are using.
Good luck.
