That gives me some almost laughable output: root # /usr/sbin/gpm -D -m /dev/psaux -t ps2 -Rraw Alarm clock But still not running: root # ps waxu|grep gpm <nothing> Also to clear the record here. Some are suggesting /etc/init.d/gpm is not present or other such basic things. I think the fact that this command has any output at all indicates that all is well in that quarter: root # /etc/init.d/gpm force-reload Stopping mouse interface server: gpm. Starting mouse interface server: gpm. Its just that nothing actually happens.
