gpm does need STREAM. There's no easy fix for this one. If you change permissions on /dev/gpmctl, you lose functionality. The quickfix is to just rm /dev/gpmctl. This will prevent things like gpm-root from working, but basic gpm functionality is still there. I'm looking at it to see if/how it can be fixed without losing functionality. Fixed. |
