otoh, I never got the synaptics pad to work at all well with gpm, and 
use (on an Inspiron 2500):

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"PS2Mouse"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"CorePointer"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/psaux"
	Option		"Protocol"		"PS/2"
	Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"4 5"
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
	Option		"Buttons"		"3"
EndSection

which works equally well for the touchpad or a mouse plugged into the 
mouseport.
