Description of Problem: /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm always sets device /dev/mouse, even when /etc/sysconfig/mouse sets DEVICE How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set DEVICE=/dev/ttyS0 in /etc/sysconfig/mouse 2. Point /dev/mouse somewhere other than ttyS0 3. Stop and start gpm, it still uses /dev/mouse Actual Results: /dev/mouse is hardwired Expected Results: Use DEVICE from /etc/sysconfig/mouse Additional Information: Simple fix. Change /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm, line 39 from if [ -n "$DEVICE" ]; then to if [ -z "$DEVICE" ]; then
confirmed.... and patch working...
