Use chkconfig to see which run levels you have gpm set to go:

[root@localhost root]# chkconfig --list gpm
gpm             0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

And this so that it won't run at any run level:

[root@localhost root]# chkconfig --level 0123456 gpm off

And since it'll still be running on your box after the last command, you 
can stop it with:

[root@localhost root]# /etc/init.d/gpm stop
Shutting down console mouse services:                      [  OK  ]

Or you could just do "rpm -e gpm" and get rid of it entirely.

Cheerio,
