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=
