gpm as repeater for X11

[Christian Hammers <ch@genesis.westend.com>]

Hi

What causes the following error? 

I'm using the frozen (potato) distribution. GPM is configured as
repeater and "ps fax" shows me that it's running as "-Rmsc" mouse
works on console. Whenever I try to start X as user or root I get:

Warning: /dev/gpmdata unable to get status of mouse fd (Invalid argument)
	
and X stops. In X I configured Protocol "MouseSystems" and Device 
"/dev/gpmdata". When using "PS/2" on "/dev/psaux" the mouse does not move
at all (but at least X starts).

I read something in the SuSE Support databse and turned "PNP BIOS INSTALLED"
off in my BIOS. I find no Option there telling something about "PS/2 support
on/off".

bye,
