Today. all the installations seem crazy to me.
You really mean in your home ? Where you got that from?

Make that you have:
/dev/psaux
rm -f /dev/mouse; ln -s /dev/psaux /dev/mouse
/etc/gpmconf:
device=/dev/mouse
type=ps2
If you installed gpm properly
/etc/init.d/gpm start (or restart if runnign)
Then have fun with: man gpm XF86Config
