I think the problem here is gpm being unconfigured, rather than X and it not playing together nicely. Run gpmconfig to configure gpm. /dev/psaux is the device file associated with a ps/2 mouse.
Like ktb said, you need to stop gpm before you'll be able to use the mouse in X, so, in essence, you trading in one problem for another. -Rob On Fri, Dec 22, 2000 at 09:28:28AM -0600, ktb wrote: > On Fri, Dec 22, 2000 at 09:09:29AM -0600, John Foster wrote: > > I need the name of the ps2 mouse driver file.
