Looks like you have a serial mouse. I forgot that the problem is with PS/2 and other bus mice only. With such a mouse you still have to use the repeater mode or kill gpm before starting X because the mouse device can only be opened by one process at a time. That restriction does not exist with serial mice. -- Manfred Wassmann PGP and GnuPG public keys available at http://germany.keyserver.net PGP: 24B81049 Fingerprint: D7 10 EE 2B 74 16 C0 64 B4 5F BA B2 90 29 3D AF GPG: 6B299971 Fingerprint: A598 A41F 57A3 5D69 83D2 8027 1274 F8CD 6B29 9971 +++ I18N ?
