Hello Roeland!

Can you please do the following:

- close X, start gpm with -D. Send the output [perhaps gzipped if too big or
  the url] until it stops working.=20
- when gpm won't restart, please do again with the -D flag, other logfile
- can you redescribe which mouse you have ? [lost the thread somehow...] =
=20
