Re: gpm and X and mouse

Thank you! This works for me. Note that I also had to hack my 
/etc/init.d/gpm to look at the repeat_data variable, though it
may be an old /etc/init.d/gpm. My gpm version is the latest
with respect to "stable", "unstable" was down when I tried. 
I agree that this is the sort of thing that really should be
fixed in the next version if it isn't already. Reasonable
defaults is what life is all about.
