Following this, I've changed "type=autops2" to "type=ps2" in my 
gpm.conf, and now the mouse works fine in console. Not that I use it 
too much, but it's nicer anyway :)  Thanks !

Here I've changed "Protocol IMPS/2" to "Protocol PS/2" to correspond 
with that of /etc/gpm.conf, and "Device /dev/psaux" to "Device 
/dev/gpmdata". The mouse works but I've lost the (crippled) wheel.

Then I changed protocol back to "IMPS/2", _not_ to correspond with the 
"type" in gpm.conf, and the wheel works BOTH SIDES !!!  ::))

Well, thanks for your help !!
