I do not recall who posted a problem with the mouse not working in X but what fixed it for me is changing the options gpm runs as - it seems instead of running 'gpm -t ps2' it now runs 'gpm -R -m ps2' (-R -m is really an option for busmice and shouldn't be a default one anyway). So just change the init files and that might do it :)
