I have to turn off gpm every time I start the machine. I don't
understand why gpm starts as I'm sure I deleted the S20gpm link in
/etc/rc3.d.
Anyhow I haven't figured the problem out yet, but there seem to be
something different with the linking of /dev/mouse when comparing to the
RedHat system I had earlier. On that system I didn't have problem with
gpm and X.
My mouse is a 3 button Logitech PS/2.
