So I googled/read/did. But as I said, it didn't work -- in fact after

when starting X).

Assuming you have a PS/2 mouse with a scroll wheel, I'd suggest imps2
for the type in gpm.conf, and ImPS/2 for the protocol in XF86Config-4.
If that

Please note that there may not be any reasonable explanation for the

The mouse has been working fine until one power failure. My box had been

The only difference I have here is the type is just 'ps2' and
I have an a non-empty 'append'. These will both affect the
'input' side of gpm. So I think these differences are ok.

How
are you running gpm?
does your mouse work under gpm?
if so i recommend that you:
# /etc/init.d/gpm stop
and then get your mouse working under x.

If I'm understanding the HOW-TOS
It is either a PS/2 mouse or a bus mouse. It can't be both. Unless it's a
raly old mouse it is not a bus mouse. You probably have a PS/2 mouse.
Look at the connector. Is it round or oval. How many pins on it.

I do not recall who posted a problem with the mouse not working in X but
what fixed it for me is changing the options gpm runs as - it seems
instead of running 'gpm -t ps2' it now runs 'gpm -R -m ps2' (-R -m is
really an option for busmice and shouldn't be a default one anyway).
So just change
