Found out something else interesting:

autoscroll works in TBird 1.5, *but* at the expense of copy/paste of gpm 
in vc consoles! After using autoscroll once, you can no longer paste 
with gpm.

I have this for gpm.conf:

device=/dev/input/mouse1br
responsiveness=15
repeat_type=raw
#type=imps2
type=ps2
append="-S \"/sbin/poweroff\""

and this in XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Mouse1"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "Dev Name"              "A4Tech USB Optical Mouse"
#       Option          "Protocol"              "IMPS/2"
        Option          "Protocol"              "evdev"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mouse1br"
        Option          "Dev Phys"              "usb-0000:00:10.1-2/input0"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "6 7 4 5"
        Option          "Buttons"               "12"
EndSection
