GPM and X11 on Slack 9


I have one of those cheap PS2 mice, so if I'm at a console without X11 started yet, I gotta run GPM using ps2 as mouse type, but once I got X11 running GPM turns crazy and selects and pastes anything with just moving the mouse. So i gotta change the mouse type to imps2 to correct this, but when i close X11 GPM crashs and stops funcioning, then if i wanna use mouse at a console i got to: run GPM using ps2, kill it and run it again but using imps2.


What is happening???

kill gpm before starting X11, I'm surprised X11 will start while gpm is running.
make a script like...

gpm -k
startx
gpm
