Hello,
I have installed, with Yast the gpm, in order to be able to use my "Logitech, invisible optic" mouse in consol mode. This mouse works perfectly in graphical mode.
Nevertheless, it is not so, then I have tryed to reload the gpm daemon as fellow:

Code: Select all

cheikhbouchihda#/etc/init.d/gpm reload
I get a message:


[missing]

When I do:

Code: Select all

cheikhbouchihda#yast mouse
I obtain a list for different type of mouse, between them, they are those types:

Protocole Mouse Man(souris serie Logitech) - (ttyS0 - COM1)
Protocole Mouse Man(souris serie Logitech) - (ttyS1 - COM2)
Ancienne(old) souris(mouse) serie Logitech(serie 9) - (ttyS0 - COM1)
Ancienne(old) souris(mouse) serie Logitech(serie 9) - (ttyS1 - COM2)
Souris(mouse) bus Logitech

The problem is : I have have tryed all this kind of types of mouses, indicated above, without succes.
When I choose, for example :

Protocole Mouse Man(souris serie Logitech) - (ttyS0 - COM1)

And I reload gpm, I obtain the message:


Neihter the variable MOUSEDEVICE and MOUSETYPE nor the variable GPM_PARAM is set in /etc/sysconfig/mouse
Run 'yast mouse' to set up gpm

When I look at the file /etc/sysconfig/mouse, I find:

MOUSEDEVICE = "/dev/ttyS0"
and
MOUSETYPE = "mman"

My question is : what must I do in order that my mouse works in consol mode?
Thanks in advance for the help.
