FWIW, I ran gmp and X together under Slackware, Slink and now Potato.
The biggest problem I found was that the gpm install set the repeat mode
to ms3 (IIRC). The solution here was to simply set the repeat_type
parameter in /etc/gpm.conf to an empty string. According to the man
page the repeat_type will be set to the device type, in my case
/dev/psaux. With this configuration I have the XF86Config set to use
/dev/mouse which is itself a link to /dev/gpmdata. X and console both
work well.
