Well, I have the exact same setup. My gpm.conf is:
# /etc/gpm.conf - configuration file for gpm(1)
# Written by Martin Schulze <joey@debian.org>
#
# Mostly self-explanatory. If you mouse seems to be to slow, try
# to set responsiveness=15, append contains some random arguments appended
# to the commandline.
#
device=/dev/inportbm
responsiveness=
type=bm
append=""
Everything, including X11 works will.
