-------------------------------------------------
I've had a similar recent experience started about 2 weeks ago after a
general woody upgrade. 2 wierd problems.
1. I now have a conflict between my console mouse and my xwindows. they
are fighting for control. Now, what's strange is that I no longer have
/dev/gpmdata.... it's simply gone. I have been watching for others to
see a similar situation and maybe figure out why. Since I first noticed
it after I upgraded XFree86-4.xx I saw that my mouse device in the
config file is now /dev/psaux. That is what was written in after my last
upgrade by debconf.
2. I have also seen a lot of console crashes when my xserver crashes.
The xserver seems to come back up but the console is a goner. What's up
with that?
