Much more to my liking:) Besides, I myself would try to persuede people to use "repeat_type=raw", so that one unfoldable line would read: repeat_type=raw (or ms3) And then I would spent a line explaining that value for `type' (in /etc/gpm.conf) and `Protocol' (in X11's config file) depend on the brand and model of the mouse in use.
