Uhm, on every system I have seen, gpm is connected to /dev/psaux when in console and XFree86 is connected when in in X.
From X: olegil@olegil:~$ sudo lsof | grep psauxXFree86 10915 root 7u CHR 10,1 1016488 /dev/psaux
From console: olegil:~# lsof | grep psauxgpm 19563 root 0u CHR 10,1 1016488 /dev/psaux
Are you saying this isn't happening, and that my systems don't exist? Important addition: it doesn't work if gpm is set to any kind of repeat, only if gpm has repeat=none.
My AmigaOne can't do this at the moment, because X doesn't find the mouse directly. I forget why, but /dev/gpmdata works just fine.
Anyway, I just thought I would mention it :-) Ole-Egil -- AmigaOne dev list FAQ (when I say F, I mean F): http://www.samfundet.no/~olegil/amiga/
