O, and why don't you use `/dev/mouse' in X11's config file?
Would make X11's config file independend from gpm. And the
use of the symlink is easily explained as well:
In X11's config file use: /dev/mouse,
in gpm's config file use: /dev/your-real-mouse-device,
and when you start or stop using gpm, fix where /dev/mouse links to:
iff your using gpm: /dev/mouse --> /dev/gpmdata
iff your NOT using gpm: /dev/mouse --> /dev/your-real-mouse-device
