What happens if you # cat /dev/ttyS1 and let the mouse go all over the place (with assorted manic mouse presses)? If you have tried that many protocol combinations, you might have a dodgy PS/2 to serial adapter (I encountered a couple). Or you may want to run gpm in debug mode, just to check that the "signal is coming though".
