[Pkg-gpm-devel] Bug#307638: gpm: upgrading from 1.19.6-12 to 1.19.6-19 mouse doesn't work in X

[Eric Van Buggenhaut]

Package: gpm
Version: 1.19.6-19
Severity: important

My mouse works perfectly both in console and under X with 1.19.6-12 but 
when I upgrade to 1.19.6-19, I can't move the pointer under X. Still it 
works perfectly in console and the pointer appears in X. When a new 
window pops up, the pointer is moved to the border of that window. The 
problem is that there's no way I can move the pointer around using the 
touchpad.

Note that my settings are identical for both versions.
