Try running gpmconfig as root.  It will create the appropriate  configuration. 
 But before you do that, make a symlink for /dev/mouse:

 ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/mouse

[assuming the mouse is on ttys0]

Tell gpm to use /dev/mouse, and then tell XF86Setup to use /dev/mouse.

WHile it workes with the raw device, I believe there are a  number of programs 
& packages that expect a /dev/mouse.
