I found that if you turn the "repeater mode" off on gpm, you can use gpm
and x windows on Debian at the same time with no problems.  You can turn
it off by changing the default repeater type line in gpm.conf to the
line:

repeat_type=

with no arguments.  The default upon installation is:

repeat_type=ms3

I read in the manpage what the significance of turning this off is, and
it basically says you can't cut and paste from video mode into console
mode.  I don't do that anyway so it doesn't affect me that much.

Regards,

Warren

  Funny... a lot of the things Red Hat does could be well described as
"breaking it so it works".
