Sorry Thomas it does not work more successfully (with or without gpm running, 
with or without gpmdata). But what could be the small difference between b132 
and b180 (processor clock excepted)?

(Changing mouse doesn't help)
(There is no more (EE) message in XFree86.0.log (or xdm.log). No message, no 
syslog and no kern.log errors)

What can I do to debug this problem?


Thanks again,
	Joel
