 Considering that the XServer uses SIGIO for the mouse now i think that this
is the problem. If my memory doesn't fail me you don't get SIGIO from pipes
(which /dev/gpmdata is) but i don't know if the XServer can detect this and
fall back in synchronous mouse reads or fails. Can you check without gpm
and see if it works ?
