I don't know why running gpm freezes your mouse in X. There seems to be a conflict between gpm and X, your not the only one who experiences this. I did get the mouse working in both modes but lost the third mouse button in the process so I just shut off gpm and turn it on when I need it. /etc/init.d/gpm stop /etc/init.d/gpm start will do that for you. You can search the archives and see if any of the fixes out there work for you. kent -- "In order to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe." - Carl Sagan
