These are my settings using a Logitech trackball. I believe most
standard mice will work with these. If you have a three button mouse
leave out Emulate3Buttons option. GPM must start before X does.
gpm.conf
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=PS/2
append=""
sample_rate=

Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
