If you are trying to pipe a mouse using gpm to X and its a serial mouse,
then X needs to use the /dev/gpmdata device and not /dev/psaux since
psaux can only be opened once, thus X won't be able to open it if gom
already did.
You will also need to set the repeat type so that gpm will repeat the
mouse to /dev/gpmdata. You can either use raw and then use the ImPS/2
protocol also in X or change the protocol on the pipe such as ms3 and
then use the appropriate protocol with X (gpm can pipe only into some of
the protocols though).
If you only want the mouse in X and not the console you can remove gpm
all together and use /dev/psaux in X as the device.
