You have right,

But sorry this as no effect:
on 712 pointer still fix in midle of the screen after an exit,
on b180 pointer still fixed all the time (even after an update to xfree 4.1.0-7)
(just after re-install of gpm: gpm.com contains as default repeat_type=ms3 then 
I have a pointer moving only at the bottum of the screen (same behaviour as the 
712 before I comment repeat_type)?)

Is it possible to config XFree so that it takes mouse input from gpm?

Thanks for help and ideas,
        joel
