DSL Embedded :: Starting Mouse without Xwindows



Hi There,
Can anyone help me with this problem?, I want to configure my mouse so that it will start in the linux console command line without going into Xwindows. I don't have Xwindows setup on this box. I just want to have my mouse working so I can install some online games.
Any helps would be appreciated. !!
thanks so much
:D
Download and install these mydsl extensions:

dsl-dpkg
gnu-utils

then type:

apt-get update
apt-get gpm

and search google for "man gpm" to learn how to use it.
thanks Cbaggers01 for your reply.  I also want to know how can I login (multiuser mode ) without getting Xwindows kick in.
Thanks much  :D
edit /home/you/.bash_profile
remove "startx"
Please also show me how to logon to "root" instead of an "dsl" user everytime i boot up the OS.
Thanks much.  :;):
