I found the problem with the gpm mouse not working. It turns out to be a i586
openSuSE problem with a defective binary gpm, next the permissions on
/dev/input/mice or mouse0 is to tight (which are set by udev), then mouse0 and
mice in /etc/sysconfig/mouse has both variable set as mice, and lastly the
start script (echo $GPM_PARM} seems to have a problem with its variables.
I have a friend in England running 11.4 on a x86-64 machine without any
problems.
It appears openSuSE is overlooked many problem on a i586/686 machine.
His gpm mouse works but he has a /etc/udev/rules.d/50* which this machine lacks
from a fresh load from the NET of 11.4 M6. I tried to change permissions at
boot time in permissions.local with no luck after a reboot.
This is a Athlon-XP machine with NVidia chips everywhere on 11.3 it all worked.
