Hi!
I am using GPM to repeat mouse info for X, since it seems /dev/mouse can only be opened once. This is great and all, works perfectly. Until I quit KDE.
During the KDE / X shutdown, gpm dies without a word. No log entry, no error message on stderr, nothing. And due to what looks like a design flaw in the init script system, the whole system _needs to be rebooted_ to start it again.
(/etc/init.d/gpm stop fails, start says gpm is already running. cute.) |

It's not quite as drastic as all that. As is documented in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rc-scripts.xml, you can always Code: | # /etc/init.d/gpm zap |
