Late in to this thread.

I use a Logitech Marble Mouse. One of my better ideas :-)

This is my /etc/gpm.conf 

device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=ps2
append=""
sample_rate=

This is /etc/X11/XF86Conf-4 extract.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Default Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/gpmdata"
        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"    
        Option          "Buttons"               "3"       
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          " 4 5 6 7"
EndSection

HTH.
