Just upgraded to woody (PowerMac 7500 using kernel

logout of an X session (regardless of which wm I'm

The keyboard works, but I loose the mouse entirely in
gdm and when I log back in. I have to
/etc/init.d/./gdm stop and start again to get my mouse
back.
What does your "/etc/gpm.conf" file and the mouse section of your
"/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" file look like?

My gpm.conf file looks like this
# /etc/gpm.conf - configuration file for gpm(1)
device=/dev/input/mice

repeat_type=ms3
type=ps2

And the Mouse section of my XF86Config-4 looks like
this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Hope this helps

If you're going to use both gpm and X, as a general rule you'll want
gpm's repeat type to be "raw" rather than "ms3", and you'll want
XF86Config-4's "Device=" line set to "/dev/gpmdata".
Basically you have two mouse drivers fighting over the same data; by
configuring gpm to read the data and then repeat it just as it's read
(raw), and then configuring X to read gpm's repeated data instead of the
"normal" mouse port, the two should start getting along just fine.
