Description Need Real Name 2001-04-21 17:08:41 UTC 
Line 38 of /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm must be changed from:

 if [ -n "$DEVICE" ]; then

to:

 if [ ! -n "$DEVICE" ]; then

or else "DEVICE=..." in /etc/sysconfig/mouse has no effect.
Comment 1 Martin Wilck 2001-05-16 17:56:33 UTC 
Right, I had the same problem. Better yet, 

if [ -z "$DEVICE" ]
...
Comment 2 Preston Brown 2001-06-25 17:18:46 UTC 
fixed in 1.19.3-18 and later.
