1. gpm and Gnome / 2. console login<->graphical login

[Sergio Andreozzi <sergio.andreozzi@lut.fi>]

1.  each time I boot my Debian Linux I have to run the following
command:
    gpm -k
to make the mouse works!
How can I avoid the loading of gpm during the boot-strap?
Could I uninstall this program?

2. at the end of the boot-strap I have a graphical login.
How can avoid the starting of X/Gnome and have a console login?
In this case how can I start Gnome?


Thanks for your help
