Hmm, it was my understanding that, yes, gpm and X aren't compatible and you _shouldn't_ try to run them together. That was in slink. I've since upgraded to potato, and noticed that both gpm and X are started in the same runlevel. However, I also have trouble with the X server, and those problems go away when I kill off gpm (and remove it from the rc2.d directory). I've never seen any documentation or announcement saying that gpm and X are now compatible... I'm running debian potato on a sparc ultra 1 and slink on a sparcstation 20 at the moment. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus! Copy me into your ~/.signature, please! --
