GPM-1.20 not working after installation on VirtualBox
by seriousatm from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5ATNX)
Hello guys!
I recently finished building LFS 10.0 and I wanted to build GPM in order to have basic mouse functionality. I installed it and the init script without any problems, and I also recompiled the kernel with the needed options.
In /etc/sysconfig/mouse I have the following settings:
MDEVICE="/dev/input/mice"
PROTOCOL="imps2"
I also tried /dev/psaux but it still didn't work. During boot, a message is displayed showing that GMP service started [OK]. But still, I see no cursor, nor I can copy or paste in the console. Note that I am working in a VirtualBox VM (with the USB Table pointing device) and I have a USB mouse. Do you think that the VM is causing me problems? Can I even fix this?
Thank you for your help!
