There are various work arounds to getting X and gpm happy with each
other. It has been covered many times. I suggest you search the
archives for the answer. I've never found the "fixes" to help in my
situation. I don't use a mouse in console very often so I just start
gpm when I need it and stop it when I move back to X.
