You could re-mount your fs like this before starting X:

mount -n -o remount,sync /

Might also save you trouble with damaged filesystem(s) et al. ;)

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/gpmdata"
        Option          "Protocol"              "IntelliMouse"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

Is there a reason you use the GPM repeater device?

I wouldn't expect that to change anything wrt X. The kernel has never had any
influence on X for me. (If you used Option "UseFBDev" that would be a
different story)
