I don't know about console, but to go step by step I would kill gpm and
see if you can get the mouse working in X without gpm... then move on
from there.
here is my relevant mouse portiong from XF86Config-4Section
#
"InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Intellimouse! (optical).
