Thanks Kir!

Mouse was misbehaving in both console and X

The ps command returns
	gpm -t imps
which is not right, since I switched to a generic ps2
mouse.  So after reviewing gpm manpage, ran
	killall gpm
	gpm -t ps2
Now mouse works in both console and X (Yay!)

My question now, is where do you specify the gpm
options at boottime, instead of having to run
manually...

I see there is a /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm,
but I can't figure out where to set the options for
it.

A fresh install on my home machine with a logitech ps2
mouse worked fine - so I'm assuming the MS mouse is
the problem, even with gpm set to "gpm -t imps"
