There is a simple solution for this problem! One calls gpm with the
parameter -R
(added to /etc/rc.config at GPM_PARAM), which
works like a repeater (see man gpm
). According to this in
/etc/XF86Config
the mouse is addressed as follows:
Section "Pointer" Protocol "MouseSystems" Device "/dev/gpmdata"It is still necessary to configure two links for the automatic start of gpm in runlevel 3:
cd /sbin/init.d/rc3.d ln -s ../gpm S20gpm ln -s ../gpm K20gpmYou can test it by changing into runlevel 3. Enter the command
init 3
and - after the X server has started -
switch back to the text console and check whether the mouse works.init 2
(from console).Please read Chapter 11, "The S.u.S.E. boot concept" in the manual for further information.
Analogue, you can integrate other programs (daemons) to startup. Doing this they are automatically executed at the computer's start. Be aware that you change really system relevant data!
