[Gpm] BUG: gpm locks keyboard

[Marques Johansson]

gpm-Linux 1.19.3, $Date: 2000/01/17 22:23:03 $
Linux fall.disp.pwac 2.4.2-pre1 #17 Sun Feb 4 16:47:52 EST 2001 i686 unknown

in my /etc/gpm.conf:

#device=/dev/misc/psaux
device=/dev/input/mouse0
responsiveness=
# repeat_type=" ps2"
type=ps/2
append="-l \"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\""

in my /usr/src/linux/.config :
CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1024
CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=768
CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV=y
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y
CONFIG_MOUSE=y
CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y


this is what i am using now, with my usb mouse. i no longer have a ps/2
mouse plugged into the ps/2 port.  my keyboard is also a ps/2 device.

if i change the device line of gpm.conf to the one remarked out above,
however, the keyboard becomes unusable (no response).
