If you have gpm running ("ps ax | grep [g]pm" reports something like
  186 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/psaux -t imps2 -r 35 -Rraw
then yes you are), change your "Options 'Device'" lines to be "/dev/gpmdata", and make sure your "/etc/gpm.conf" has "repeat_type=raw". 

Explanation:
gpm is the "text-mode" console mouse driver and often conflicts with the X mouse driver. By configuring gpm to repeat the data without modification (raw) and telling X to get the mouse data from the gpm repeater (gpmdata), the two mouse drivers can play nice with each other. 

To fix the wheel, you'll probably need to set the "Protocol" to "ImPS/2".
