non e` una questione di mouse, ma del modo in cui il kernel gestisce
la porta ps/2 o busmouse (device /dev/psaux o ...)

allora fai ricerche anche su mesi (anche alquanto) precedenti su quello
che abbiamo gia` detto in tanti in questa ML

hardware (la porta sulla sheda madre) + software (il driver del kernel
per quella porta).
Dal Busmouse-HOWTO (che nonostante il nome concerne anche i topi ps/2):
4.4. XFree86 and gpm.
For a long period of the kernel developement, it was not possible to
share busmice between processes. Because of this it was hard to run
both XFree86 and gpm at the same time.

There are two meathods of getting gpm working with XFree86 with these
kernels. The first is to kill any copy of gpm you have running before
you start up XFree86. The second is to use gpm's "repeater" option
[snop]
I would recommend upgrading your kernel if possible so that you can
share busmice between processes.
