The XFree86 X server's mouse driver was rewritten for 4.3.0.

Okay.  You need to reconfigure the XFree86 X server to listen to
repeater device, then:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Configured Mouse"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"CorePointer"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/psaux"
	Option		"Protocol"		"ImPS/2"
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
	Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"4 5"
EndSection

The above is not correct, according to Zephanaiah Hull, the GPM
maintainer.

Instead, use "Device" "/dev/gpmdata" and "Protocol" "IntelliMouse".

Also see the bug logs of #233933:

Does reconfiguring XF86Config-4 rectify your problem?
