Hi Sebastian
I run a G4 and my XF86Config-4 Mouse section is identical to yours but
I'm sure I read somewhere that you don't need gpm and that may be part
of your problem. I don't have it installed.
You could try uninstalling gpm and see whether that helps. If
not, I suggest you post to debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org -
there are some knowledgeable folks there ;)
