Good sir dman once wrote:

"That is caused by two apps (gpm and X) trying to access the hardware
directly.  When using gpm, gpm should access the hardware and X should
access /dev/gpmdata, a named pipe from gpm to any other app that wants
the mouse too.  If you point X to the right device file then gpm and X
can coexist quite peacefully."
