What protocol did you tell X to use? If it doesn't match gpm's repeat
type it will act weird. My recommendation is to use the same protocol
in both gpm and X and set repeat type to 'raw'. My config has :
--------------
repeat_type=raw # same as reading directly from the hardware
type=imps2
--------------
--------------
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
# Note: Protocol must match the 'type' set to gpm
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
--------------
BTW, I found that with libggi the protocol must be 'lnxusb' not
'imps2'.
