On the above got:

Did the "/etc/init.d/gpm start
The mouse did not move. So I put the Logitech mouse on and nothing would drive
it at all in "gpmconfig".
Then I got my two-button ps/2 mouse that I carry with my laptop. In
"gpmconfig" it ran with "fups2". Restarted Debian and it still worked. Shut
Debian right down and restarted and it still worked.
Then I hit "startx", Window Maker came up and the mouse moved all over the
screen. Whoooeee!!
Deleted the "exit 0" on XDM and it booted graphically and the mouse has
command of the screen.
Thank you again Kent for all of your patient help. Debian would have been gone
by now without it.
