Faketty + gpm weirdness

[Hugo V. <hvw...@ya...>]

Hi,

I realize this is not a hot priority, but I have
repeatedly had the following:

In a recent kernel (2.6.14/15) gpm (General Purpose
Mouse Interface) will act weird: the mouse cursor does
not show in a text console (not X), but a line copied
with gpm copy/paste will appear, *and* in mc lines are
selected wherever the mouse cursor moves.

I only say "Faketty" in the subject line because that
is the multi-user setup that I am running with Debian
stable and nVidia closed source driver.

I guess it will not happen if you don't copy/paste
with gpm. But that is just what gpm is handy for.

Nothing fixes it: restarting gpm resumes in this
behavior. Logging out changes nothing.
