People seem to have found a range of different answers.  I have a 3
button PS/2 Logitech Trackman Marble (no wheel, thank god) and I found 
that if I set gpm to ps2 and repeating ps2 then gpm wouldn't work at
all.  To get gpm and X co-operating fully I had

gpm using /dev/psaux as ps2 type and repeating as ms3

/dev/mouse pointing to /dev/gpmdata

X using /dev/mouse as an Intellimouse.
