I believe that link should be /dev/psaux -> /dev/mouse. That's the way I have it, and it works fine.
I don't really need to cut-n-paste in console mode, so I don't have gpm running.

I'm trying to introduce a debian box to my office....I am not a sysadmin, so I stumble a little bit with these things. Anyway, I want to make a good impression of deb. I've installed woody. I'm getting weird things with the mouse. Can somebody help? Here's what's up. I loaded up X server and it connects and all that. If I start X with gpm, I get a mouse, but it is very erratic and unacceptable. So, if I remove gpm, and then restart X, the mouse works fine under X. Ok, if I then reboot, there's no connection to the mouse without gpm; so after reboot (after removing gpm), the mouse is dead under X. In the XF86Config-4 setup file I have the mouse on /dev/psaux. I checked, and there is a link from /dev/psaux -> gpmdata. I'm using a ps/2 mouse. Any ideas?
