Hey, I don't have that file, I can't find any mention either in the
documentation. I have Debian-1.1.4 and gpm-Linux 1.06.
I do have gpm-root and /etc/gpm-root.conf. Is that what you meant? Because
the man for gpm-root does mention the gpm-root.conf file.

I found that doing /etc/init.d/gpm stop in a xterm just hangs until I
ctrl-c or kill the gpm -k from another xterm (but then again, the gpm
docs do hint at strange interference with X.)

What documentations did you see that I didn't? Hmm.. I don't have any
source for gpm installed. Is that what I am missing? How do I get it in
Debian?
Thanks,
