Use that to verify gpm works in the console, then have X use /dev/gpmdata. The cute thing is you no longer have to restart X on re-plugging your rodents. ..with your new kernel and X reading /dev/gpmdata instead of some weird /dev/pissedoffaux, the problem reduces to get gpm working. ..you _could_ have gpm fighting X over the mouse, stalling it now. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
