I have only one problem with these fixes, switching between a VT, and X causes problems (gpm running, X started with xinit). It dosn't with the driver as distributed in the kernel so ...
What I have seen is, if I start X (xinit) with gpm running, X complains that it can't open /dev/psaux, and fails to start, then I get "psaux: controller timeout", and moving the mouse gives some mouse error message from gpm, kbd & mouse locked tight. I also started X first (before gpm), and that worked fine until I quitted X at which time I got "psaux: controller timeout", again kbd & mouse locked tight.
Versions are: gpm-Linux 1.06, November 1995
XFree86 Version 3.1.2E / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6100) Release Date: May 13 1996
