[gpm] GPM and USB Optical Mouses

[Nico Schottelius]

Hey,

can you try imps2 intead of ps2?

I think mice (for about 10-15y) rarely use ps2 nowadays.

There should also be an emulated mouse at /dev/input/mice and/or
/dev/input/mouseX respectively. As far as I recall, they are also
emulating imps2 by default.

Best,

Nico
