Red Hat 5.8 (beta 1) gpm 1.17 is now used, which recognizes the Intellimouse PS/2, however, the /etc/sysconfig/mouse is set incorrectly if this mouse is chosen during the initial installation. Instead of reading MOUSETYPE="ps/2" it should read MOUSETYPE="imps2". Set as it is to "ps/2" there are problems with gpm during and after an XFree86 session

I have updated mouseconfig (versions 3.7 and higher) to have these changes.
