I had (for the past year or so :-) slightly different problem of mouse not working (properly) in text console after returning from X. About two weeks ago to my excitement I found that X seems to work correctly with FIFO as mouse device. I reconfigured gpm to run in repeater mode and X to use /dev/gpmdata as mouse device and since then I had _zero_ problems with mouse either in X or on console. Fred, I have small patch for init.d/gpm to allow easy configuration as repeater. Do you accept it? I would even go as far as to suggest this should be default ... what other people think? -andrej
