Do you use the mouse on the console? If not, the simplest answer is probably to remove gpm. I find it useful to have the mouse on the console, and my favorite mouse setup goes like this: (I have a logitech trackman marble, which follows the intellimouse protocol (it has a wheel). It's plugged into my PS/2 mouse port.) I run gpm, telling it that my mouse is an imps2 connected on /dev/psaux. I tell it repeat_type=raw, so that mouse data will be repeated on /dev/gpmdata without translation (i.e. it will look just like the imps2 read off of /dev/psaux). I tell X that my mouse is an ImPS/2 on /dev/gpmdata. That's it! Then my mouse works on the console, and it works in X. Again, though, if you don't really want the console mouse, you'll probably save yourself some headache by just removing gpm and telling X your mouse is on /dev/psaux. good times, Vineet -- Currently seeking opportunities in the SF Bay Area Please see http://www.doorstop.net/resume/ -- "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." --Beatrice Hall, The Friends of Voltaire, 1906
