gpm and X incompatible? (potato)
I'm using X 3.3.6-8 with xserver-svga 3.3.6-8 and tdfx-dri 4.0.00-2 (through
alien) and gpm 1.17.8-16.1 with a 3dfx framebuffer at 1024x768-60 on a 3dfx
Voodoo3 2000 with a PS/2 mouse on /dev/psaux. After X is started, and I switch
back to tty1, no textual output occurs (by typing, by program output, and by
switching amongst tty[0-9]+) and lines one pixel tall and about an inch wide
of random colors are drawn going from left to right and from top to bottom
starting from about the middle of the screen, and the mouse does not work in X.
Killing gpm (through "gpm -k" and "/etc/init.d/gpm stop") makes the mouse work
in X and fixes the display problems in the framebuffer. Does anyone have any
ideas about what could be causing this?
