Interesting. I have them both working off the same device and have no such problem. Its a usb MS optical (intellimouse) Here is the running gpm process: /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t imps2 Here is a couple of my XF86Config-4 lines for the mouse: Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" And gpm runs while X is running: /etc/rc2.d/S20gpm I have a feeling that such problems also relate to using the wrong settings for gpm. (wrong protocol etc) but don't know a lot about it. But I had a similar problem once (not on debian) that was solved by making gpm use the imps2 protocol for that particular mouse. all the best, Robert_L -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
