Also, you must kill gpm if it's running before you enter X.
It ain't necessarily so :-) For normal PS/2 mice it's sufficient to rum gpm
in repeater mode and set X to use /dev/gpmdata as device. Thus you get cut
and paste on the console as in X. I haven't been able to get this working
with imps/2 mice, i.e. wheel mice.
Note that this only works if you start X manually via startx. If you use the
graphical login, i.e. boot to runlevel 3, gpm gets stopped automatically as
it wont work then.
