I tried this without luck:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Test Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/gpmdata"
        Option          "Protocol"              "MouseSystems"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

I had a mouse pointer in X, but it didn't move from the start.

This seems to have worked.  Thanks.
