Now that I've switched the gpm repeater to ms3, switching from console to

that package to, say, pop up a warning dialog about this before you throw
the previous X config away? This can silently break X in such a way that
downgrading doesn't help.
You'll see one if you have apt-listchanges installed and configured to
show you news items, which I believe is the default setting.

* GPM users only: those who use the the GPM repeater as the XFree86 X
server's mouse device should note that the mouse driver in XFree86 4.3.0
has been rewritten in such a way that using any protocol other than
IntelliMouse on the XFree86 side and ms3 on the GPM side does not work
well. If you have configured GPM as a repeater, are using it with the
XFree86 X server, and are using anything other than ms3 as the repeating
protocol, you will likely want to change it to ms3. If your
XF86Config-4 file is automatically handled (see the news entry for xfree86
4.2.1-11) and uses /dev/gpmdata as the port for the configured mouse, the
protocol will automatically be migrated to IntelliMouse if necessary.
Otherwise, you will likely want to edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file
after installing this package to change any configured input devices using
the mouse driver and /dev/gpmdata as the Device option to set the
Protocol option to IntelliMouse.
