I don't have your machine, I have a newer thinkpad with the little red
pointer. But I use gpm and X works fine. On my thinkpad, my gpm.conf
has:
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=msc
type=autops2
append=""
sample_rate=
Type msc above is MouseSystems Protocol in the XF86Config-4 file:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems"
EndSection
I hope this is helpful.
