x The gpm program allows you to cut and paste text on    x
x the virtual consoles using a mouse.  If you choose to  x
x run it at boot time, this line will be added to your   x
x /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm:                                      x
x                                                        x
x     gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2                         x
x                                                        x

x Running gpm with a bus mouse can cause problems with   x
x XFree86.  If XFree86 refuses to start and complains    x
x that it can not open the mouse, then comment the line  x
x out of /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm, or add '-R' to gpm and set    x
x up X to use /dev/gpmdata as your mouse device.         x
