Problem: I cannot get a cursor in X with my PS/2 generic mouse. I do
get a cursor in the Text mode and can cut and paste between VC's. In
X I can click in the window and get menus to pop up and occasionally I
will lite up a button all in the blind. Below are the two
configurations that work.
XF86Config:
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/gpmdata"
or
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
and gpm.conf was
Device /dev/psaux
type ps2
Now, how do I get the cursor working in X???
Again thanks for the help.

I ran into this problem just yesterday on a newly installed Woody box.
In /etc/X11/XF86Config, the line "dev/gpmdata" is *supposed* to work,
but my symptoms were just like what you're describing. I finally gave up
on trying to do it the right way, and set my XF86Config file to use
/dev/psaux. From past experience, and from what I've read, this should
cause a conflict with gpm, yet it didn't. In fact, everything started
working just like it's supposed to.
