Package: gpm
Version: 1.19.6-25
Severity: minor
Hi, the current Debconf messages contain:
"Serial mice: 9-pin or 25-pin serial connector\n"
" msc The MouseSystems protocol. Most 3-button serial mice.\n"
I really doubt that this ("most") is right! I had once such a mouse but
nevertheless I'm sure that the Microsoft or ps2 protocol dominates and
not msc.
I remember that once I tried to install a stupid windows system for a
friend with this mouse I failed to find a driver on this system (and was
forced to repeadingly reboot to test a new driver). This indicates that
this MouseSystems protocol is not so common ...
Another minor issue:
" ms+ Like 'ms', but allows dragging with the middle button\n"
Is dragging the right word? I don't understand this properly (drag from
drag&drop?). Could it be replaced by "pasting" or "copying"?
