No.

Ages ago I used to have a problem switching between X and the consoles
sometimes - I forget exactly what, but having X take mouse input from the
gpm repeater fixed it.

The very same PS/2 mouse. It currently works fine with X with gpm disabled
using,
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/psaux"
> Whats your /etc/gpm.conf file look like?
device=/dev/psaux
type=ps2
append=""
repeat_type=msc
(Previously, when gpm was running, I had Protocol "MouseSystems", Device
"/dev/gpmdata" for X, which also used to work before the upgrade.)
