mouse not working under X, while ok in gpm
Thanks, Kent, this is by far the most comprehensive respond I ever
received! Actually, you won't need to explain this much, If you have read
my OP. :-)

So I googled/read/did. But as I said, it didn't work -- in fact after

I installed gpm while in X, I think my X is now permanently damaged.
