gpm and X and mouse

[Krzys Majewski]

I've tried to tell X to use the fifo /dev/gpmdata as its
pointing device but it doesn't work. The mouse behaves fine
under gpm (even cut&paste works) but is unuseable under X. The
mouse cursor does move when I move the mouse, but in
completely erratic and unpredictable ways. The only way I've
got the mouse to work under X is to not use the gpm fifo, and
to stop gpm before starting X. My mouse is a Logitech 3-button
PS/2 type. -chris
