Hi gang,
I had to reboot my system to add some ram, so I decided to see how my
mouse would go in the PS/2 port. It's a logitech MouseManPlus - very
cool mouse with lots of buttons!
I'm using gpm as a repeater, and use /dev/gpmdata as my pointer in my X
config file. The interesting bits of my gpm.

How can I use both gmp and my mouse under X?
My mouse is a wheel mouse, currently my XF86Config is set to IMPS/2 protocol
and /dev/psaux as device.
If I don't kill gpm when I switch to X from console the mouse doesn't work.
I have tried to set the device to /dev/gpmdata in XF86Config but this doe

There is a documented feature of gpm that enables some sort of a "pipe"

create a fifo named /dev/gpmdata, and X ca

It is mouse dependent, but to me it looks alike, that as well the mouse

FWIW, I ran gmp and X together under Slackware, Slink and now Potato.
The biggest problem I found was that the gpm install set the repeat mode
to ms3 (IIRC). The solution here was to simply set the repeat_type
parameter in /etc/gpm.conf to an empty string. According to the man
