It should work the same way with X3 as it does with X4.  I have used gpm
with both versions of X, I'm currently using it with X4.0.3.  I've got
a PS2 Logitech cordless wheelman mouse (acts exactly the same as a
Microsoft Intellimouse).

Here are the relevant sections from my gpm.conf and XF86Config-4:

## /etc/gpm.conf
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=imps2
append=""

## /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
[...]
Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "CorePointer"
    Option "Protocol"    "ImPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/gpmdata"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
[...]

I have a similar setup at work, also using X4.0.3, but using a PS2
Intellimouse.

Hope this helps,
Sean
