Problem: While booting up gpm gives me some errors and sets some wrong protocol, conclusion: mouse get unusable! This is particulary boring because X listens to a gpm mouse repeater. If I logon and do: /etc/init.d/gpm restart mouse gets configuredly correctly, and now I can go to X and login. So, why is gpm at boot up being wrongly configured if the /etc/conf.d/gpm seems to be OK, since we can configure the mouse correctly with "/etc/init.d/gpm restart" Can anyone help me out? Is this a bug? Is this gpm error/fault, boot alignment/sequence error/fault, kernel setup error/fault, gentoo error/fault? here are the settings in /etc/conf.d/gpm and the error outputed by gpm at boot time: * Starting gpm...
