20 I have a MS "Wheel Mouse Optical USB and PS/2 Compatible" mouse and am
21 using the UBS-to-PS adapter because my KVM does not have USB.
22
23 gpm's set to the imps2 protocol and the repeater is in raw mode.
24
25 X is set to the IMPS/2 protocol. Here is the section from my
26 XF86Config-4 file:
27
28 Section "InputDevice"
29 Identifier "Mouse0"
30 Driver "mouse"
31 Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
32 Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
33 Option "Buttons" "5"
34 Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
35 EndSection
