[BRLTTY] GPM open error: Inappropriate ioctl for device

[Keith Wessel]

Hi, Dave,

I started gpm, but no luck with the log messages going away. I restarted
brltty to see if that made a difference, and no dice there, either. Still
getting the log messages every five seconds or so in /var/log/messages.

The Windo follows pointer option was already switched off in my brltty
config.

So, am I just waiting for another release of gpm? Looks like Gentoo stable's
currently on 1.20.18r5

Thanks,
Keith

The noise goes away if you install and start gpm. Another thing that should
work is to go into brltty's preferences menu and turn off "Window Follows
Pointer" (remember to save the rpeferences to make the change persistent).
