My /etc/gpm.conf:

device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=15
type=ps2
append="-R"

The relevant part from /etc/X11/XF86Config:

Section "Pointer"
   Protocol        "MouseSystems"
   Device          "/dev/gpmdata"
   BaudRate        1200
   Emulate3Timeout 50
   Resolution      100
   Buttons         3
   Emulate3Buttons
EndSection
