mouse foibles

Hi,

I have a sid box with 2 videocards/monitors/keyboards/mice.

from gdm.conf:

...

[server-Standard]
name=Standard server

command=/usr/bin/X1 :0 -layout X1 -dpi 110 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice \"PCI:0:10:0\" vt7
# Definition of the second X server.
[server-2nd]
name=2nd server
command=/usr/bin/X0 :1 -layout X0 -dpi 110 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice \"PCI:1:0:0\" -sharevts
...

Only the tube on vt7 can have vt textconsoles *and* can use gpm.

The corresponding xorg.conf entries are:

...

Section "InputDevice"

         Identifier      "Mouse0"
         Driver          "evdev"
         Option          "Device" "/dev/input/event5" # (cat 
/proc/bus/input/devices)
         Option          "Name" "A4Tech USB Optical Mouse"
         Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "6 7 4 5"
         Option          "Buttons"               "12"

Do you need help?

Section "InputDevice"

         Identifier      "Mouse1"
         Driver          "evdev"
         Option          "Device" "/dev/input/event6" # (cat 
/proc/bus/input/devices)
         Option          "Name" "A4Tech USB Optical Mouse"
         Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "6 7 4 5"
         Option          "Buttons"               "12"

My problem is that when the tube on vt7 switches to a vt testconsole and uses the mouse *even though gpm has been stopped*, the mouse cursor on the second monitor starts to move!

I have 2 questions:
1. Is there a textconsole function for copying/pasting similar to gpm for the *keyboard*?
2. Whose bug is this? Since I assume this is erroneous behavior. Can't be gpm because that isn't running. When it runs it behaves normal.
