	The following patch fixes gpm-1.19.2 to allow use of
the virtual console names built into devfs (at least for
linux-2.3.99pre5.5).  Although it is possible to add the
old names (or some other names) to a devfs-based system, these
names will always be present on all devfs-based systems, eliminating
another potential incompatability.  If you apply this patch, gpm
should still work on all of the systems that it worked on before,
although I have not tested it on a non-devfs system.  I hope you
will apply this patch or some variant of it for the next release.
