Great!

I'd still like to know whether your original configuration (/dev/psaux,
protocol "auto") works with repeat_type=3Dnone.  It should work.  And
that will confirm my analysis of the bug.

Almost.  (:  The upgrade should have preserved your empty repeat_type -
I should have remembered earlier that this changes the behavior of gpm
in an incompatible way.  So we still have an upgrade bug, even though
you've fixed it for yourself.  I'll fix it properly for our next
upload.

Thanks,
Peter
