Sorry, I don't have that mouse, but here's a tip. Get the mouse working 
properly in the text console first. Once you have that working, tackle X.

dman has two types listed in gpm.conf above; you only need one. imps2 is 
the usual standard ps2-type mouse with a wheel. I've never had success 
with autops2, but then I've never tried very hard.

He also has the device set to point to what I believe is the USB port. 
If it's a standard ps-2 port mouse, that should probably be /dev/psaux. 
His XF86Config file looks good.
