Well, if you do use gpm, you can have it autodetect the mouse by
setting the type to autops2:
% cat /etc/gpm.conf
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=autops2
append=""
sample_rate=
%
You can change the repeat_type to something that everything can
use--I've never tried this, but it seems like it should work. Try it
with imps2, for instance, or just ps2.
Then, the X config file only needs to use whatever protocol you
specified and needs to point to /dev/gpmdata.
