Hi Fraser,

which mouse-type did you choose for gpm?  I assume you chose "ps2".
The same protocol should work with X11.  Do not choose the "Mouseman" 
protocol, AFIAK it's reserved for older (very old) Logitech mice.

Did you restart X after making the changes to /etc/X11/XF86Config?
How did you make the changes?  Did you use a program like XF86Setup?
XF86Setup lets you "test" the current mouse configuration by clicking on
the "apply" button. 
What happens if you try to recreate the X configuration file from
scratch using xf86config of XF86Setup?

So long -- Stephan
