Hmm, it was my understanding that, yes, gpm and X aren't
compatible and you _shouldn't_ try to run them together.
That was in slink. I've since upgraded to potato, and noticed that
both gpm and X are started in the same runlevel. However, I also
have trouble with the X server, and those problems go away
when I kill off gpm (and remove it from the rc2.d directory).
I've never seen any documentation or announcement saying that gpm
and X are now compatible...
I'm running debian potato on a sparc ultra 1 and slink on a
sparcstation 20 at the moment.
