Just upgraded to woody (PowerMac 7500 using kernel

If 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.
That's only a problem with devices like /dev/psaux. Any number of apps
can use /dev/input/mice concurrently without a problem.
