What device is gpm using and what protocol?
Many people seem to have a lot of trouble plugging gpm and X together,
but it is really simple! Here's the trick :
o use the correct protocol in gpm ("imps2" for me)
o use the correct device in gpm ("/dev/input/mice" for me)
o use repeat_type 'raw' in gpm
o use the correct! protocol in X ("IMPS/2" for me, it must be
the same protocol as gpm uses!)
o use '/dev/gpmdata' as the device in X
If you try and use /dev/psaux in _both_ gpm and X, you'll doubtless
get very erratic behavior as each program will only get _some_ of the
data the mouse is sending.
