That should mean it won't interfere. OK, further results: I used gpm's repeater option, and had X read /dev/gpmdata (ok, "Generic Mouse" was also there, but that shouldn't cause any problems? Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "SendCoreEvents""true" Option "Device""/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection as set up by xserver-xfree86's postinst) The mouse and keyboard locked up again, serial mouse was still working. After killing X, it was still the case. Only after stopping gpm did my keyboard come back to me. (It doesn't lock up immediately, it locks up a couple of minutes or what into the X session.)
