If you simply want a 3 button optical no problem, just plug it in and restart
gpm.
Wheel mouse work as well no problem, however you would need to reconfigure
your system, possably using 'mouseconfig' depending on which system you have
of course.
And secondly.
You would also be better of editing /etc/X11/XF86Config(-4) by hand, then
needed text is;
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Corepointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
That will make X use the scroll wheel.
