I apologize, this is a Debian problem that I found a solution to, but it was through the help of Mark Knipfer's Red Hat 7.0 problem that i figured this out. I am running the latest Debian iso, as of May 1st 2001.. and I too was having GPM problems.. gpm would sporadically lock up the keyboard on console logins, as well as Xwindows on some occasions. However, by disabling USB on my motherboard, an 'Award BIOS v6.0' , the problem resolved itself. how strange. at any rate, if u find yourself with gpm hangs, keyboard lockups.. and trying every variant of mouse types in your gpm.conf and XF86Config.. disable USB and make your linux life a whole lot easier. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
