# gpm/cfg - "Build" settings for package

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

[technotes]

1. The status of the "official" version of  "gpm" was  last checked in
2007.  At the time, it appeared that "gpm" had been  largely abandoned
for about five years.  The latest official release (1.20.1) dated back
to 2002.

Based on various Web pages, "gpm" development hadn't stopped entirely.
Recent "gpm" code was available from certain "git" repositories.  How-
ever, attempts to use the "git" repositories  in question failed.

Presently,  this distro  uses its own  version of "gpm",  which is de-
scended from a "snapshot" release dated 2005.

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

2. This distro has modified the original sources to remove most build-
time dependencies.

#---------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Examples of additional changes:

* Added "smooth  cursor movement"  code  obtained from the  Linux From
Scratch project.

* If a mouse  is  unplugged,  the "gpm" daemon now aborts (at least in
some cases) to prevent lockups due to error loops.

# This code takes advantage of Linux 2.6 features:  If "udev" is enab-
# led, and the special device referenced below exists,  the kernel has
# detected a PS2 or USB mouse. In this case, the mouse can be accessed
# using the special device and the protocol "exps2" (regardless of the
# actual mouse type).

# If the conditions described here aren't met, this code falls back to
# default  settings (which are  specified by the  following "DEFAULT_"
# variables).
