Minor gotcha: I switched the X mouse device from /dev/gpmdata (I had gpm
repeat mouse events) to /dev/input/mice, because I remember reading that
with the new 2.6 kernel more than one processes can listen to mouse

/dev/input/mice could always do that, only broken devices like
/dev/psaux couldn't.

Uhm, on every system I have seen, gpm is connected to /dev/psaux when in console and XFree86 is connected when in in X.

From X:

olegil@olegil:~$ sudo lsof | grep psaux
XFree86 10915 root 7u CHR 10,1 1016488 /dev/psaux

From console:

olegil:~# lsof | grep psaux
gpm 19563 root 0u CHR 10,1 1016488 /dev/psaux

Are you saying this isn't happening, and that my systems don't exist? Important addition: it doesn't work if gpm is set to any kind of repeat, only if gpm has repeat=none.

My AmigaOne can't do this at the moment, because X doesn't find the mouse directly. I forget why, but /dev/gpmdata works just fine.

Anyway, I just thought I would mention it :-)
