Killing gpm will fix that.

How do I get a list of quake2 command line options? Nothing in the README.
Bad options dont give a usage. I cant find help on the quake2 console.

Doesnt quake2 use libvga?? I tried setting mdev to /dev/gpmdata, but
quake2 just locked my console and sucked all the cpu. Had to telnet in.

My 3-button serial mouse (msc protocol) has always worked fine,
including under X with gpm running.
