Mouse: using gpm as a repeater for X11

Support knowledgebase (cg_gpmrepeater)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Versions up to (including) 7.3

Concern

You want to configure the so called repeater device to use it with your mouse. This means, console tool `gpm' controls your mouse and handles the mouse input data and also provides this data to other programs (in this case: to the X-server).

Procedure

You can cancel these changes, by executing rctab -r (deletes link in rc3.d) and mouse reconfiguration with SaX and YaST.
