For me it is /etc/X11/XF86Config, but I also have a /usr/lib/X11/XF86Config
which is a link to the same place, I don't remember which is the original
location. Look in there under 'pointer'.
By the way, you can use the "gpm -R" option to turn on 'repeater' mode which
reoutputs the gpm input as a mouse systems mouse at /dev/gpmdata. There may
be side effects, I think the X11 cursor may slow under heavy load, but I
can't quite tell. This will allow you to use gpm and X11, of course the
cut-and-paste buffers are seperate.
