The following works for me:

In /etc/X11/XF86Config (/dev/mouse is a symlink to /dev/psaux):

Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "IMPS/2"
    Device      "/dev/mouse"
    ZAxisMapping  4 5
    Buttons 7
 
In /etc/gpm.conf:

device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=25
type=imps2
append="-l \"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\""
repeat_type=
