BTW I have those annoying messages about GPM in my syslog too, and have had them for a long time. I just never could be bothered to find and fix the source of them. And I'm running the very latest BRLTTY version at the moment. Currently I get lots of: Aug 22 10:35:49 xanadu brltty[27884]: GPM open error: No such file or directory Aug 22 10:36:24 xanadu last message repeated 7 times Aug 22 10:37:29 xanadu last message repeated 13 times Aug 22 10:38:34 xanadu last message repeated 13 times Aug 22 10:39:39 xanadu last message repeated 13 times GPM is indeed _not_ running, and I don't see why I should be running it as I don't make any use of it, just to get rid of those messages.
