To get it to work you'll have to choose IMPS/2 both for gpm and for X,
select /dev/psaux for gpm and /dev/gpmdata in XF86Config as you probably
did, and then add the following line to /etc/gpm.conf to top it off:

   repeat_type = raw

You are aware that to get the wheel working you either have to use imwheel
or you have to add the next line to the mouse section in XF86Config:

   ZAxisMapping    4 5

Happy wheeling
