Subject: gpm question
Hi all,

I recently tried Mandrake 8.1 (been using RH 6.1).
Twas not a great exprience. Main problem: could not
get a mouse cursor in X.

Reloaded with Deb 2.2r4 and X works fine unless
I had gpm running prior to calling X. Then the
mouse cursor is there but won't work. Killing
gpm makes it start working.

I didn't have to do this with RH 6.1, so my question
is how did RH handle it so it worked in X?

In Mandrake's defense, sound and printing and
networking all came up out of the install. In Deb,
I've been working one thing at at time. I finally
got networking up, apache up, zope up, but not
netscape. I also don't have an ssh on the CD's and
have yet to find one.

Joe
