On my 712-60, I've had to call my mouse "ps2fu" in gpm.conf but enabling the
same repeater didn't get X to use it.  Anyhow, the problem with fups2 is that
every time I exit Gnome and X is restarted by gdm, the mouse in X no longer
works so I have to ctrl-alt-back kill X to reinitialize the mouse again.

Meanwhile, that same fups2 driver seems to work as expected on consoles and
never caused me any problem.
