Hello.
I have several questions about gpm and linux console.
Sometimes I need copy something "into mouse" (I hope you understand what I exactly mean) and paste this into linux console command line.
Example: some programs isn't compiled. I use gcc -v, copy intermediate gcc calls (as, ld) and paste them to command line. The pasted text is large enough. I have two problems with this:
1. Insertion goes very slow! I need to wait about 20 seconds! My hardware is good enough (P4-1800). Why so slow? How to accelerate this? When I used RH7.x this was very fats. But in RH9 and FC1 - slow.
2. Sometimes lines are broken. E.g. I want to insert line "gcc -L/include -o xxx.o", but two lines are inserted: "gcc -L/include" and "-o xxx.o".
And the third: sometimes mouse cursor disappears (in text consoles). I'm performing "/etc/init.d/gpm restart" to reload gpm. Why my gpm dies sometimes? Where can I see logs?
May be some FAQ exists where I can read how to solve these 3 issues?
Thanks.
