I don't believe that's true. I think GPM does document this. Ccing GPM maintainer so he can verify or refute my statement. > On upgrading X there should be a warning if pointer device is set to > "/dev/gpmdata" _and_ "Protocol" isn't set to "IntelliMouse".

The malfunction reported *was* due to misconfiguration. Please don't confuse the issues. Up to 2 new bugs should be filed instead: 1) If GPM's documentation is insufficient, it should be improved. 2) XFree86's debconfage can be enhanced as described above. Please do not reopen this bug. -- G.
