I'm confused about the imps2 repeater in gpm 1.20.0. What
applications has this been tested with? I would think things would
get confused, because the application would try to send the imps2
initialization sequence to the repeater. Since /dev/gpmdata is a
fifo, I think this would end up as mouse input to the application.
What actually happens in this case? (I haven't tried it myself.)
Debian has had an ms3 repeater for a long time, which makes more
sense to me because it doesn't have an initialization sequence. But
I may be missing something, because I'm not a mouse expert.
I could send along the R_ms3 patch, but maybe you would prefer to
get in from the Debian maintainer.
