I'm running X and I just ran the gpm configuration tool. Although I said n for whether I had anything to change, I lost the mouse after it closed. Is there some way I can get it back so I can at least shut my stuff down properly? (Background: xdos of the dosemu package wasn't recognizing my mouse, and I wanted to check my settings for X so I could put them in dosemu.conf.) I'm on X 4.0 with sawfish as the window manager. Gnome desktop, with gdm starting things off.
Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to the first virtual terminal Log in as roottype "/etc/init.d/gpm stop" This will turn off gpm until the next reboot or running of gpm/gpmconfig.
