The following config works well for me and my MS Wheel-Mouse:

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

  +--- in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ---
  | Section "InputDevice"
  |     Identifier  "Mouse2"
  |     Driver      "mouse"
  |     Option      "Protocol"      "IMPS/2"
  |     Option      "Device"        "/dev/gpmdata"
  |     Option      "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
  | EndSection

Note that the "raw" repeat-type gets gpm to echo mouse-events directly thru
to /dev/gpmdata ... I then configure X to talk "IMPS/2".  If you use the
default repeat-type ("msc"), you'd have to modify your XF86Config to suit.
