Thank you all guys for helping me figure this out, but the answer was beyond configuring gpm or X, and it was a lot simpler: MY MOUSE was not working well! I changed it for a new one, and voilą! I am working perfectly in both X and console.
that's the wonder of linux! sttruggling more than a day to get it working, I've learned how gpm works and how it repeats to X. different devices related with mouse. a bit more about config files. how helpful this user-list could be (it's the first time I ask for help) thanks Andres -- Debian GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
