You try to start GPM (e.g. while booting) but you get an error message:
/usr/bin/gpm: /dev/mouse: No such device
There is no driver support in your kernel. Either you forgot to activate the
necessary option while compiling or the kernel daemon cannot find the module.
This may be due to a missing module or a wrong aloas line in
/etc/conf.modules
or /etc/modules.conf
.
If you use one of the kernels that came with your
»S.u.S.E. Linux« distribution if should be sufficient to enter the following
line in /etc/conf.modules
or /etc/modules.conf
(this
applies only to PS/2 mice!):
alias char-major-10 psaux
If you built a kernel yourself, make sure that the following option in
make menuconfig
has been set:
Character devices ---> <*> PS/2 mouse (aka "auxiliary device") support
If you plan to use this mouse as a module please do not forget to compile and
install the modules as well.
("make modules
" and
and ("make modules_install
").
