Bug#306950: gpm rate problem

[Osamu Aoki]

Hi folks,

While wondering why my tpconfig package does not work for 2.6 kernel, I
realized that there were much kernel changes between 2.4 and 2.6.

sample_rate is one thing I remember affected. (Vaguely)

So, I am sure gpm is also affected by this change in kernel behavior.

As I see kernel configuration "HELP", new gpm is available to address
needs for 2.6.  <http://www.geocities.com/dt_or/gpm/gpm.html>

Although 'autops2' gpm was, I think, debian specific hack, merging
upstream changes should help situation.

 Debian GPM:   1.19
 Upstream GPM: 1.20 

Guillem Jover, are you still there to maintain this package?  These
upstream seems to be from 2003.  Maybe you want to check other distro
too.

Cheers,

Osamu
