[gpm]mixing [im]ps2 + imps2 -> raw -> X

Hi.
Looks like nobody replied, yet.

It means the exact packets are send through the fifo. It means
that if different protocols are used the process readingt he fifo will
not be able to decode them using a specific (and unique) protocol.

I think this explains the behaviour you're facing.

All incoming packets are re-translated from the internal form to
the protocol specified. With the raw repeater data is retransmitted
before it is turned to the internal form. This allows repeating
protocols that are have features unsupported in gpm, while still allowing
X to use them.
