You might want to look in /etc/gpm.conf to make sure the
"device=" line is pointing to your correct mouse port
(/dev/psaux).

Also, you might want to re-run the "gpmconfig" app; it'll give
you the option to test your settings before writing the config
file.

Other than that, you'll have to wait for someone more
knowledgeable to answer.
