I start manualy the xserver (startx) and when I shut down it, my gpm start to refuse to copy & paste on the console (tty). I solve the problem with a fallback to gpm-1.17.5-3.i386.rpm Note: I have the Red Hat 6.1 distribution.
what X server / Video card are you using? What type of mouse do you use?
can't duplicate with the 6.2 gpm 1.18.1 and a PS/2 style mouse. Assume problem is fixed or user error.
