The problem is very simple: gpm does not support the Linux kernel input event device. In practical terms, this means that with kernel 2.6 and anything plugged into the PS/2 port, gpm won't see any features beyond that of a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer - up to 5 buttons and a wheel. We'll try to support the event device soon - moving to new upstream, and if that doesn't properly support it, I'll write a patch. The evdev API isn't all that difficult, but I don't want to write a patch for our current (rather old) gpm version. Thanks for the report, Peter
