Edit it by hand. Look for:
Section "InputDevice"
and change the line:
Option "Protocol" "Foo"
to
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" or even "ExplorerPS/2"
and I would recommend changing the line:
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
to:
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
as Martin suggested, with or without killing gpm. I had this
problems w/o even having gpm installed.
Oh, and emulate 3 buttons you shouldn't need. I don't know if it's
causing problems, but you *have* a third button: the wheel.
BTW, what rat do you use? And what window manager? Not that the wm
make much difference AFAIK, but I'm curios.
