I wouldn't put it into any startup script. If your /etc/rc.config is still intact and has the proper parameters then check that the gpm script is intact, /sbin/init.d/gpm (I think...) you can try it out as root: /sbin/init.d/gpm start if all the above check out, then it is probably your run levels that are screwed. the simple out, is to add it to /sbin/init.d/boot.local the problem with that is that when you do get x working again, gpm will not automatically shut down when starting x.... Hope this helps......

If you have been following my saga, I installed linuxconf and looked at it and it screwed up my system. I managed to use rescue to get rid of it. But then i lost the mouse so I couldn't use sax and xf86config didn't help. So as root, i entered gpm, and now it works but I have to enter it each time. so can anyone tell me where to put gpm in which startup file. I'm kind of an advanced newbie. I'm learning, but startup files are still kind of a mystery to me.
