That's coming from gpm startup, at least one of it, although I have /dev/tts/0 in my gpm.conf... Ah, it's hardcoded in the binary, it seems (doing a strings on it). Anyway, does anyone have a clue as to why my serial modules are not working any longer since 2.5.53 (and neither 2.5.55)? I am not missing it much for X but at least gpm is a good thing. Thanks, Alexander
