You have to make sure, that you use the _same_ mouse device for X and gpm.
If your ps/2-mouse is on /dev/psaux, you have to say this while configuring
gpm with "/usr/sbin/gpmconfig" AND say this while configuring X
(e.g. with "/usr/sbin/xbase-configure").
Otherwise gpm and X start fighting for your mouse,
and the winner is: GPM (because it starts first!)
