This is working just fine here on my notebook. I use the psaux
module, with gpm set to /dev/psaux, type=ps2, with X set
to protocol "PS/2", device "/dev/mouse", which is a symlink to
/dev/psaux. The mouse switches fine. Initially if I switched X -> console -> X
X would be unable to get the mouse back and would exit, but seems to be
working now.

This works on a friend's desktop with PS/2 mouse also.

I gather it's also possible to configure X to get the mouse data from gpm.
