If your mouse is a stock Microsoft mouse (like this one but with NO wheel : 
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouse/intellimouse.asp) it won't work under X 
with GPM running. You'll have to set your XF86Config-4 to /dev/psaux as usual 
and use PS/2 type.

The wheel version of the mouse version will work with gpmdata but you'll have 
to set it to ImPS/2 to have it working.

Hope it helps :)
