Hi,

I'm having a little trouble here with my mouse.

When I boot, gpm works fine (i.e., mouse in console ok). Start KDE, and the
mouse is also ok after the reconfiguring (its a wheelmouse, the wheel was
not originally recognized, but after adjusting xconfig, works fine).

The funny thing is, when i exit KDE and go back to console, even if I log
out, my mouse goes crazy in gpm mode (phantom clicks, goes to the up-right
corner etc).

Does anyone know if this is a known bug, or probably some kind of
misconfiguration?

Does anyone know how to sort it out?

Thanks!

Paulo
