(Sigh!)Okay, make sure that gpm is configured to repeat "raw" (either edit /etc/gpm.conf, or better, re-run gpmconfig).When I set up "gpmconfig" with "fuimps" the mouse moves when I test it. When I get out of "gpmconfig" it still works.However when I "shutdown -r now" when it reboots the mouse is dead again. Thinking the gpm server is not working, I entered "#gpm" but that did not change anything.

Try "/etc/init.d/gpm start" to start gpm, and then either move the mouse or do the above "ps" command again. If this works, that means the script is not running for some reason on boot-up.
Then I go back to "gpmconfig" and get it going again. Sometimes it doesn't take on the first configuration and has to be done again and then it will work.
