Every time -- and I mean every time -- I logout of an X session (regardless of which wm I'm using) and am thrown back to gdm, my mouse freezes up. The keyboard works, but I loose the mouse entirely in gdm and when I log back in. I have to /etc/init.d/./gdm stop and start again to get my mouse back.Kent

CrowshawIf you're going to use both gpm and X, as a general rule you'll want gpm's repeat type to be "raw" rather than "ms3", and you'll want XF86Config-4's "Device=" line set to "/dev/gpmdata".
Basically you have two mouse drivers fighting over the same data; by configuring gpm to read the data and then repeat it just as it's read (raw), and then configuring X to read gpm's repeated data instead of the "normal" mouse port, the two should start getting along just fine.
