If your gpm start line looks like "gpm -t ms" (likely in
/etc/rc.d/rc.local), try doing a "gpm -k; gpm -t bare". I also have a
three button mouse (on /dev/ttyS0, standard params.), but the middle
button dosn't work; gpm gets middle button events randomly. I don't
know, however, what the option for X would be, I use a bash shell, like a
*real*man*. <G>
