Try using:-
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
...and point the device to /dev/gpmdata if you intend to continue using
gpm
Else (which is what I prefer as I do not rquire a mouse in
console-mode), do :-
# apt-get remove --purge gpm
..and then set the device to point to the relevant raw device in /dev.
E.g. For PS/2, point it to /dev/psaux and for com[1-2], point it to
/dev/ttyS[0-1]
If you have a scrolling mouse, use the imps2 protocol instead. Here are
the relevant sections of my XF86Config-4:-
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
