As of now all but one release critical bug that I know of has been squashed in gpm. The remaining bug is the fault of libc6, and is not something that I can directly fix. Specificly, programs which link against libgpmg1 may expect it to contain the fsync symbol, which it no longer does. The only fix for this is recompiling those programs against the current libgpmg1 (1.19.6-1 or -2), I know that w3m under powerpc needs this, others may as well. The specifics of this whole mess are in bug #119892. On a brighter side, I would like everyone to test the current gpm extensively, as it will, barring more bugs being found, end up in woody. Thanks.

On a modern X86 machine use the PCI/AGP bus data. On a PS/2 use the MCA bus data. On nubus use the nubus probe data. On old style ISA bus PCs done a large pointy hat and spend several years reading arcane and forbidden scrolls -- Alan Cox
