I have, in /etc/gpm.conf:

device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=autops2
append=""
sample_rate=

In my X config, I have:
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/gpmdata"
        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"

Which works with my non wheeled logitech mouse.
