Any data coming out? If so then maybe you need to select some other hardware type for gpm. If not maybe you need to whack your laptop or check the bios. You can do the same on the serial port: /etc/init.d/gpm stop stty -F /dev/ttyS0 raw 1200 cat /dev/ttyS0 | od Another tidbit of info that might be useful: cat /proc/interrupts Are you getting any interrupts for the ps/2 device? When something has the serial or ps/2 port open, the data coming in will accumulate interrupts. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
