The /dev/gpmdata has to be written to in a format compatable to both mice so that it can be read by both mice, however an XF86Config-X protocol has to be identified that will work for both mice. The -Rps2 wouldn't work for both mice but -Rraw and the -t ps2 was compatable so /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/psaux -t ps2 -Rraw -M -m /dev/input/mice -t ps2 -Rraw with, in XF86Config-4 Option "Protocol" "PS/2" works fine with your suggested GPM_MOUSE Thanks very much!
