I just have gentoo installed, and restarted fine, and trying to get other things installed.
I remeber with the boot cd, I can use the mouse to copy and paste text, I've searched around, but only find how to setup mouse in X.
How to I get the mouse working? is it some options in compiling kernel??
Thanks!!

hansluk,

Its
Code:
emerge gpm
then add it to the default run level.
These is some config to do too.

awesome, NeddySeagoon!

I edited the file:
Code:
 /etc/conf.d/gpm

and then added it to default level with
Code:
rc-update add gpm default

and also ran
Code:
/etc/init.d/gpm start

then it runs just fine, and after reboot the mouse works too.
Actually, I have this package emerged already.

I love gentoo so much after I got it running, so easy to update, maintain and add new features.

now I'm on to wireless and xorg-x11 and to choose a wm.
yeeea :o
