It seems, that there are several people around with this problem.

I´ve got a Logitech PS/2 mouse at /dev/psaux and ran into this problem.
As somebody else already mentioned, it did not cause any conflicts
between gpm and X11 under RedHat.
This is what I finally did:
In /etc/X11/XF86Config I changed in section Pointer the lines from PS/2
to Microsoft and /dev/psaux to /dev/gpm.data. Additionally I added an
option -R to /etc/gpm.conf. In another thread somebody changed to
MouseSystems instead of Microsoft, but this didn´t work for me.

Kerstin
