mouse doesnt work in console



I cant use mouse in console, even though I installed gpm.
this is my /etc/gpm.conf

device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=imps2
append=""
sample_rate=

When I put 
$cat /dev/psaux
I get a lot of garbage on the screen, so I am sure it is the right device.

but after I make 
$gpmconfig
 and I try to test the mouse, nothing happens.

In X, it is working OK because I have it configured like this in XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Configured Mouse"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"CorePointer"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/psaux"
	Option		"Protocol"		"ImPS/2"
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
	Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"4 5"
EndSection

I want it to work fine in console before changing to /dev/gpmdata in X

any suggestion? 
thanks 

Andres
