Sorry, I'm not quite following if you mean you have "PS/2" in gpm or X 
or both. If you're running gpm (and it seems that you are), you'll want 
it to be "IMPS/2" in both gpm ("/etc/gpm.conf" followed by 
"/etc/init.d/gpm restart", or run "gpmconfig") and in X 
("/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" followed by a restart of X, or run 
"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" followed by a restart of X).
