Lack of an /etc/X11/xorg.conf shouldn't cause a problem... but udev
might not be picking one up (though I don't understand how a power
failure would kill that, but allow gpm to function).
What happens if you open a console and move your mouse after:-
# cat /dev/input/mouse0
??
And, have you checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log
$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i mouse
??
Cheers
