gpm and keyboard
Today I reinstalled Slackware 10.0, worked normaly until I tried to login in the terminal. My keyboard stop working (I couldn't turn on/off num lock, caps, etc) after gpm loaded. This had never happend before on any previous installs of slackware. I then went and disabled gpm. Now my keyboard will work at the beginning terminal, but if i startx the keyboard and mouse will no longer work. So the situation I am in is that I can't use gpm before I startx, but after I startx i can only use gpm. Any ideas
thanks in adavance

10.0 and 10.2 both use the same version of gpm, so there may be a connection. Slackware current however has a newer version, try upgrading gpm with that (using upgradepkg).
