After suspend and after use of programs grabbing the mouse in X the
mouse goes nuts. Fortunately, restarting gpm in a console restores the
original behaviour. Moving to a software cursor in X did not affect
anything. I also tried the synps2 driver with no better luck.

This problem has been reported before for earlier versions, and it is
_very_ annoying. Is the solution hard to find? One obvious solution is
not to run gpm at all, thereby disabling the mouse in console mode.
