Hi,
That program is actually gpm-mouse-test. According to the man page it
is incomplete but otherwise would be helpful. The mouse I would like to
use appears as a serial port but gpm-mouse-test doesn't provide any
option for baud rate. The author is listed in the man page and I will
email him to stir the pot.

The Sun mouse I would like to use is also a compact-1. Does the
mouse-test program you mention work with your compact-1 mouse and
therefore is actually a different program than the one in the gpm package?

Best regards,
Fred
