gpm and XF401 (Re: ADB-Mouse)

[Henning Lvser <henning.loeser@physik.uni-marburg.de>]

Hi,
thanks I got my mouse working again ... well at least sort of, I do
echo "1"  > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes   and
echo "1"  > /proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/mouse_button_emulation.
Then the keyboard works with the .../i386/qwertz/de-latin-nodeadkeys.map.gz and even displays the 'Umlaute' in Emacs :-).
The mouse moves now but the buttons only work sort of. If I mark something in the console to copy it, it scrambles the underlying text (intead of highlithing it) and only the scrambeled text gets copied. For example it makes "n~3" from "not" and ASCII
code 'hex 02' from blanks ... Under X the mouse buttons behave funny aswell, instead of moving a window it looks as if it is resized, it's just that the part that is moved doesn't get drawn any more. If I do a xrefresh it turns out that the window was
indeed moved ... This is propably a more X related problem, I have compiled the X401 from the sources with Ani Joshies xfree86 tree and Franz's xf4-kbdppc4.patch.

Any sufggestions?

Henning
