As long as the user is well behaved, and doesn't do the kind of thing I
do <g>, they're okay. I can use X, switch to a VC, work with gpm, back
and forth etc. The problem is when X loses the mouse, and that happens
either when it is disconnected (well, ususally), or if I kill and
restart
gpm.
I think the easiest solution would be to hack XFree86 not to die when it
doesn't find a pointing device. Anyone feeling up to it?
