Hi,

When in console mode, and using gpm (the mouse program), I get a lot 
of these messages in the log:

  Feb 17 22:07:16 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: *** info [gpm.c(723)]:
  Feb 17 22:07:16 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: Request on 7 (console 2)

  Feb 17 22:08:11 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: *** info [gpm.c(723)]:
  Feb 17 22:08:11 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: Request on 6 (console 2)
  Feb 17 22:08:11 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: *** info [gpm.c(732)]:
  Feb 17 22:08:11 nimrodel /usr/sbin/gpm[4515]: Closing

I want to eradicate them.

Looking at "info gpm", I read:

`-V[VERBOSITY INCREMENT]'
     Raise or decrease the maximum level of messages that will be
     logged.  Thus a positive argument has the effect of making the
     program more verbose.  One can also give a negative argument to
     hush the program; due to getopt(3) rules, any optional argument
     needs to be passed without a space in between!  When omitting the
     argument, the increment defaults to 1.  Default verbosity level is
     5 (`LOG_NOTICE').  *Note Program Arguments: (libc)Program
     Arguments.


But it doesn't accept that parameter. See:

   nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2

and I get the mouse correctly. I kill it:

   nimrodel:~ # killall gpm


then retry with -V:

  nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V
  *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h".

  nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V 0
  *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h".

  nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V\ 0
  *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h".

  nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V0
  *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h".

  nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V5
  *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h".

  nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V 5
  *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h".

  nimrodel:~ # gpm -m/dev/mouse -texps2 -V
  *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h".

  nimrodel:~ # gpm -V -m/dev/mouse -texps2
  *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h".


I look at "gpm -h"

  nimrodel:~ # gpm -h
  Usage: gpm [options]
    Valid options are (not all of them are implemented)    <<====
  ...
      -V verbosity     increase number of logged messages


  nimrodel:~ # gpm -V
  *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h".

  nimrodel:~ # gpm -V1
  *** err [gpn.c(141)]: Error in the commandline specification. Try "gpm -h".



So... it seems I'm using it correctly, but it is not implemented. How do I 
reduce its verbosity? I don't want those messages in the syslog.

Is the only method filtering them out with syslog-ng?
