Subject: gpm: Mouse stops working after a while

Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2003 15:48:26 -0500

Package: gpm
Version: 1.19.6-12.1
Severity: normal

I'm not sure what's changed but, a few times a day, gpm now seems to
stop working, as if the mouse suddenly came unplugged. I'm using X
when I find out, but it has stopped on the console too, although the
gpm process is still running. Restarting it fixes the problem,
although on startup it says,

	Unknown mouse ID, using base PS/2 protocol.
	write_ps2: 1 0, 0

Before it stops working again, it then works fine after startup and,
until recently, it used not to stop working at all.

I am still seeing problems also through X not using gpm, so probably this
isn't gpm's fault after all. Sorry about that.

Subject: [gpm] User has request bug closure

Date: Mon, 27 Dec 2010 22:57:49 +0000

Package: gpm
Version: 1.20.4-3.3

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

In the previous bug update, the initial reporter has stated that the issue is 
not related to GPM.
As this bug is fairly old, I doubt their is any point reassigning to X (as it 
may have been a hardware issue) so I suggest the bug is closed.
