Nope. That's straight Debian. I did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree many
times trying to get the display working, but I hardly touched the
XF86Config-4 file manually (other than altering the mouse line to
/dev/whatever). This is a brand new install, done just a couple of weeks
ago. Btw, I finally got gpm and X to play together nicely. Altering the
first "InputDevice" section from /dev/psaux to /dev/gpmdata wasn't enough.
When that wouldn't work, I went in and altered the second "InputDevice"
section and changed /dev/input/mice to /dev/gpmdata as well. Only then
did it actually work (I did edit gpm.conf *before* all this as instructed,
btw). Thanks for the help on this guys.
