Here's the /etc/gpm.conf which works for my Satellite Pro 400CS:
mothra:~$ cat /etc/gpm.conf
# /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

#
# This file is used by /etc/init.d/gpm and is created and
# modified by /usr/sbin/gpmconfig.
#
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
type=ps2
append="-R "
I use the relay option to provide a mouse device at /dev/gpm for X, this
seems to make it a little more stable.
Also, if you are using a custom kernel make sure it has ps/2 mouse support
compiled in. If you are not using a custom kernel you really should do so
because the standard kernels don't have APM support built in.
HTH,
