Laptop (ThinkPad) Mouse & GPM

["Ryan King" <rking@duke-energy.com>]

More Questions:

I can't get the little-red-dot-of-a-mouse on my ThinkPad 755C to bring up
any kind of cursor... Neither from the VC's using GPM, nor in my half-way
installed X86 (with gpm -k'd or no).

About a year ago, I somehow got a Slakware box running with the mouse
working fine. (I don't remember having any trouble with it..)

And, I've tried to get it mouse action with 2 different Debian boxes... my
desktop PC (Now back in WinNT... Boss's orders), and on my laptop
(affectionately named "Boxlet").. and neither time could I get the mouse to
work..

Here's the things that confuse me:
When the psaux module loads during the boot-up, it says it's detected.
GPM starts fine as well.
I know the hardware works, because it worked when the PC had Win95 on it.

What am I overlooking?

Thanks,
