| Have you tried repeating ps2 instead of ms3 with gpmdata?
I use a repeat type of 'raw' which means that gpm just copies its
input out on gpmdata. As long as gpm and X use the same protocol
(IMPS2 in my case, though gpm and X spell it differently) it works
just fine (X listens on gmpdata -- only one app can read the psaux
port reliably at a time).
