I had (for the past year or so :-) slightly different problem of mouse
not working (properly) in text console after returning from X. About two
weeks ago to my excitement I found that X seems to work correctly with
FIFO as mouse device. I reconfigured gpm to run in repeater mode and X
to use /dev/gpmdata as mouse device and since then I had _zero_ problems
with mouse either in X or on console.

Fred, I have small patch for init.d/gpm to allow easy configuration as
repeater. Do you accept it?

I would even go as far as to suggest this should be default ... what
other people think?
