The complication is eliminated if you follow two guidelines :
1) don't try to have two processes fighting over a device, let
gpm have the device and X reads from gpm's repeater
2) use the same protocol for both (duh! it's the same mouse, it
better be the same protocol :-)) (and set gpm's
repeat_type to raw)
I've never had any interaction problems following these rules. I have
seen many people get confused and/or misconfigured by the combination,
but the above has always worked.
