gpm and XFree rarely can coexist together - gpm binds to the mouse device,
and the mouse doesn't like multiple things trying to bind to it. If you
have gpm working fully, I suggest having your XFree86 config read from
/dev/gpmdata (as ps/2 as you already have) and give that a go. failing
that - your best bet is to stop gpm in your .xinitrc and start it after
your X session exits (and you might be able to manually start and stop it
when going to virtual consoles, don't know).
All in all, I gave up on it - and don't even bother running gpm (unless
for some reason I *really really* need to... I can always fire up some
xterms normally.
