i did gpmconfig about seven times, with no apparent affect, pro or con. just to see if i missed something, i tried 'wacom' as the mouse type, and left click still does left click, right click still does right click, the pointer/cursor moves about and all is exactly as it was. gpmconfig does a /etc/init.d/gpm restart for you automatically, but i also did it by hand just to be sure. no difference detected in any mouse behavior. hell, after /etc/init.d/gpm stop, the pointer/cursor still follows my mouse movement; left click still selects, right click still extends the selection. aaugh! so maybe something aside from gpm is running mouse facilities? how do i find out? ("lsof ---what?") what other likely console-mouse suspects are there? -- does a brain cell think?
