Note that it is possible to run gpm and X simultanously.  You merely
need to reconfigure gpm to repeat the raw output to /dev/gpmdata.  My
/etc/gpm.conf looks like (modify with gpmconfig):

device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=imps2
append=""
sample_rate=


and then configure your XF86Config with something like:

Option          "Device"                "/dev/gpmdata"
Option          "Protocol"              "imps/2"
