[gentoo-dev] Problems with gpm, allready asked for help, but no response

[Miguel S. Filipe]

I'm sending this to both ML, because I allready asked for help on IRC 
and gentoo-user, but nobody could solve the problem.

Problem:

    While booting up gpm gives me some errors and sets some wrong 
protocol, conclusion: mouse get unusable!
This is particulary boring because X listens to a gpm mouse repeater.

If I logon and do: /etc/init.d/gpm restart
mouse gets configuredly correctly, and now I can go to X and login.

So, why is gpm at boot up being wrongly configured if the 
/etc/conf.d/gpm seems to be OK, since we can configure the mouse 
correctly with "/etc/init.d/gpm restart"

Can anyone help me out?
 Is this a bug?
 Is this gpm error/fault, boot alignment/sequence error/fault, kernel 
setup error/fault, gentoo error/fault?

here are the settings in /etc/conf.d/gpm and the error outputed by gpm 
at boot time:
