thinkpad ps/2 mouse under X with gpm



Hi, 

Im running debian 2.2 on a IBM Thinkpad i1200. The kernel detects a ps/2
mouse port. I installed gpm, wich works on the console. 

	# /etc/gpm.conf
        # /device=/dev/psaux
        # responsiveness=
	# repeat_type=ms3
	# type=ps2
	# append=""


I tried several setting in XF86Setup and xf86config to get the mouse
running under X. The only thing that works is

	#/etc/X11/XF86config
# Section "Pointer"	
	# Protocol 	"mircosoft"
	# Device	"/dev/gpmdata"
	# SampleRate	60
	# BaudRate	1200
# EndSection

the mouse is running fine, but the third button and gpm does not
work. what am I doing wrong?

thanks
bye
Michael
