More cheese nibbler questions

Setup: Stock woody install from testing
       Kernel 2.2.20       

Comments: X is installed but not running for these tests
          Mouse works in X but not in console


If I say:

 # /etc/init.d/gpm force-reload
Stopping mouse interface server: gpm.
Starting mouse interface server: gpm.

at the command line then `ps waux|grep gpm ' 
should show some thing with gpm in it ...right?

Should lsmod also show a module running that is mouse realated?

Neither of these happen here.  Is it likely that upgrading to a newer
kernel or reconfiguring the present one will help this situation?

cat /etc/gpm.conf

device=/dev/psaux
