if gpm is started with the '-R' switch, it Repeats all its'
input on the device /dev/gpmdata.  X should play nice with
it if it's set to use /dev/gpmdata as its' input.

Now, it doesn't work with my debian install, but I suspect
I've just got the protocol wrong either in XF86Config, or
gpm.conf, or both (mine's a logitech intllimouse-clone type
thingy).

good luck
