I guess you have gpm already running. There are sometimes problems
with gpm and  mouse under X. Go to textconsole e. g. Ctrl+Alt+F2),
login as root, type ps -A and if there is a process called gpm kill
it. Then go back to X (Alt+F7) and move the mouse. If it is working
you'll have to chnge the device to /dev/gpmdata, as Paul already mentioned.
