Check your config step by step (I'm sure it works because I have a
similar setup). Does gpm work on the console? If so, make sure you
have the -R flag set and check if the fifo is there. What does `ls -l
/dev/gpmdata` say? This should be something like

prw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 May 22 23:01 /dev/gpmdata

If you don't have any gpmdata fifo, create one with `mknod
/dev/gpmdata p` and try again.

Helps?
