copying text from console to X with gpmdata?

[Lance Hoffmeyer <lance@august.net>]

Hello,
I setup my mouse with gpm and repeat so I could copy
text from a console to X.  I have /dev/gpmdata in 
XF86Config-4 and the mouse is working in both a console
(Ctl-Alt-1) and X.  It does appear to slow down the 
process of getting back into X though.

My question is that I don't seem to be able to copy
info from the console into X.  I have tried highlighting
the text in console, going to X and pressing the middle
mouse button but nothing happens.  

Am I missing something or is gpmdata not working properly?

Lance
