[Sérgio Monteiro Basto]

Hi its easy if is this your are talking about if you have chkconfig
comand as root do :

chkconfig gpm --list
gpm             0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:off   5:off   6:off

on console do:
service gpm star 

on xwindows do :
service gpm stop 

you have to active or disactive gpm "service"
