I installed RH 5.2 yesterday on a gateway. During the install I selected
the mouse as being a PS2 MS Intellimouse (as per the specs on the mouse
itself) no emulate3button. Now, gpm is failing. If the mouse is moved a
white bar appears at the top of the screen and strange thing happen at the
command prompt.

How do I change the PS2 Intellimouse to be a generic 2 button
emulate3button mouse? /dev/mouse points to /dev/psaux. It actually works
ok under X.
