Hmm.,
the lines concerning my problem seems to be
quote
------------------------
Chapter 12: GPM-1.20.7

Instead of using the classic boot script, systemd-units package provides 
native unit file. Run "make install-gpm" to install and enable systemd unit 
for this package.

Note that this service will start the daemon with "-m /dev/input/mice -t 
imps2" parameters (Same as when using the options from "Configuration 
Information" on the GPM page). If any other options are needed, the file needs 
to be edited manually or overriden using the systemd override system:

mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/gpm.service.d/
echo "Exec=/usr/sbin/gpm -m <whatever> -t <whatever>" > 
/etc/systemd/system/gpm.service.d/50-custom.conf
------------------------
unquote

I shall, of course, try this tomorrow. However, some comments:

1. ) The actual instructions of the BLFS book for "gpm" seem to be,  I hope I 
am wrong, not very usefull anymore on the basis LFS systemd. 

2.) I am wondering, the link from Armin K 

"http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~krejzi/notes.txt";

covers a  nice part of the  BLFS book: :" Linux From Scratch 7.5-systemd-rc1 
BLFS specific notes." 

Is the BLFS-book still usable when building on a LFS-systemd basis ? Would it 
be better either to write  new BLFS instructions for a systemd LFS basis, or 
simple to recommend to build LFS on the old classic udev-Basis ?

I am just starting with my new BLFS system, and perhaps I am seeing to much 
trees in the forest, but I am feeling a little uneasy at this moment, and 
allow me to remark, I have a lot of experience building BLFS systems

Regards,
Edgar
