I have the same problem after the RH 5 installation. I have a ps/2 mouse
and have tried the *gpm -k* (which I presume is all that is needed to
turn off the gpm function) command before *startx* but still no movement
fron the pointer in the middle of the X-window GUI.
Is that the wrong command or is there some other secret? I read
somewhere that some of the Logitech/Microsoft ps/2 mice need a 'wake-up'
signal to be activated. Anybody know if this is so, and if so how to
implement it?
