I'm running X and I just ran the gpm configuration tool. Although I

Is there some way I can get it back so I can at least shut my stuff
down properly?
(Background: xdos of the dosemu package wasn't recognizing my mouse,
and I wanted to check my settings for X so I could put them in
dosemu.conf.)
I'm on X 4.0 with sawfish as the window manager. Gnome desktop, with
gdm starting things off.
Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to the first virtual terminal
Log in as root
type "/etc/init.d/gpm stop" This will turn off gpm until the next reboot
or running of gpm/gpmconfig.
