I saw somehting like that once in bgu...
The reason was following:
X looked for device /dev/psaux for the mouse, however, mouse was on
/dev/ttyS0
So X server went down, was restarted by xdm and the story began from the
start.
Solution was easy:
I changed X pointer device to /dev/gpmdata, and protocol to "MouseSystems"
created fifo with mkfifo /dev/gpmdata
and configured gpm to retransmit its data to /dev/gpmdata by adding -R
switch to gpm command line.
It worked.
Regarding decision to use /dev/gpmdata as pointer device:
I use that approach usually.
