Sample config:
/usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/ttyS0 -t ms -g1 -M -m /dev/psaux -t PS/2
The -m specifies the device name, the -t the mouse protocol (do
'/usr/sbin/gpm -t help' for a list of protocols), -g1 enables the link
between tapping the touchpad mouse and mouse button 1. -M
chains two mice together. This will create a device file
/dev/gpmdata. When you have both working in console mode, edit
/etc/X11/XF86Config and make the following your pointer section.
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/gpmdata"
EndSection
To make this enabled by default, I edited /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm and
replaced the default command with the working gpm command.

I have a wheel mouse and a trackball. I use the trackball for just about everything. But when working in Gimp, it would be very nice to have the wheel, and the extra couple of buttons, available. The extra axes I can ignore, but using the wheel (for example) as a pressure control for an airbrush tool...or for scrolling in documents...whatever. Is there a way to manage it?
