Mouse configuration
I am doing a fresh install and get to the point where the install asks:
Do you want to run gpm's mouse-test program (Y/n)? (to which I respond)
y
Where is your mouse [/dev/ttyS0]? (to which I respond)
/dev/psaux (since I have a Microsoft Intellimouse 1.2A PS/2 compatible)
What type is your mouse (or help) [ms]?
help (which gives me a list which is confusing for these reasons:
ms - For Microsoft mice (2 or 3 buttons)......
---various obviously wrong choices....
ps2 - For most busmice connected to a ps/2 port (round with 6 metal pins).
---various other obviously wrong choices
I don't know what a 'busmouse' is except I thought it was more or less
extinct yet I am inclined to choose ps2.
I know my mouse is a PS/2 type, connected with a round din plug installed on
the mainboard.
Whats the correct answer?
Ron
