[KLUG Members] Help! mouse problems!

Curses!

Um, it's a PS/2 mouse, and /dev/mouse points to /dev/psaux.  I'm not sure
what repeating mode is, but I'll check it out when I have the time.  How can
you run X without gpm  for mouse stuff?  Mine doesn't seem to pick it up.  I've
tried serial mice, too, and now with both mice, it says oops() invoked,
device or resource busy.  Might be an IRQ or something. Hmm...

oh, well. thanks for the advice though.
