GPM has nothing to do with it. It's a driver "feature". When the mouse "laser blinks" it reports the device as on or off. You can remove the spam though by changing console log level to 4 or 3 (I think) (in /etc/sysconfig/console, not sure which parameter) or by adding this parameter in /etc/sysctl.conf kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3 or kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7 (see http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/13019/description-of-kernel-printk-values) -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
