Description of problem: Default handlers (like the brltty daemon) don't work anymore with version 1.20 of gpm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.20 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run brltty -b no -l 7 -n -e -x lx Actual results: notice the GPM errors about "Inappropriate ioctl for device" Expected results: There shouldn't be such error Additional info: This is because in Gpm_Open(), the flag<0 case isn't even treated in any particular way any more since version 1.20. The attached patch should fix that.
