I have two similar sections (except > using /dev/gpmdata for the touchpad) on my laptop at work. > Nope. That's straight Debian. I did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree many times trying to get the display working, but I hardly touched the XF86Config-4 file manually (other than altering the mouse line to /dev/whatever). This is a brand new install, done just a couple of weeks ago. Btw, I finally got gpm and X to play together nicely. Altering the first "InputDevice" section from /dev/psaux to /dev/gpmdata wasn't enough. When that wouldn't work, I went in and altered the second "InputDevice" section and changed /dev/input/mice to /dev/gpmdata as well. Only then did it actually work (I did edit gpm.conf *before* all this as instructed, btw). Thanks for the help on this guys.
