First, the best way to stop gpm would be: /etc/init.d/gpm stop If you're not actually using gpm (it's a program to allow you to use the mouse when on a console, similar to how you use the mouse in a xterm) then just turn it off completely and delete it from your bootup procedure, ie., /etc/init.d/gpm stop update-rc.d -f gpm remove (Not sure if you need the "-f" or not).
