gpm, X-Windows, MS Serial mouse

["Curtis L. Daugaard" <daugaard@nslsilus.ORG>]

Before I changed to Debian, I could swear that under Slackware I was
able to use my MS serial mouse in X-Windows without first killing gpm. 
No more.  X refuses to start, complaining "device in use."

I've tried everything I can think of based on the documentation for gpm,
including invoking the -M option and pointing the XF86Config file
to /dev/gpmdata.

My current serial settings: gpm set to /dev/cua2 and XF86Config to
/dev/ttyS2.

Can anybody tell me the secret?

Thanks.
