Good sir dman once wrote: "That is caused by two apps (gpm and X) trying to access the hardware directly. When using gpm, gpm should access the hardware and X should access /dev/gpmdata, a named pipe from gpm to any other app that wants the mouse too. If you point X to the right device file then gpm and X can coexist quite peacefully." Cheers Johnny :o)
