check that you configured PS/2 on /dev/psaux. if that doesn't work, try
ImPS/2, same port. if that doesn't work, /etc/init.d/gpm stop

if that fixed it, you won't need the console, so

  update-rc.d -f gpm remove

i would be interested how other people configure their mice. it's always
a pain i find. gpmdata doesn't always work, PS/2 doesn't always work,
psaux doesn't always work. it's always a plain $5 PS/2 mouse that i use.
disabling gpm with PS/2 on psaux usually fixes it...
