Yes, unless you just like the idea of stepping through the configurator

It is sufficient in Debian Potato to just replace /dev/psaux with
/dev/gpmdata in /etc/X11/XF80Config, after the change in /etc/gpm.conf.
Here is an earlier discussion on the list about the same problem (but if you
don't know it's the same problem, you can't search for it):

I know that for whatever reason one of our users computers also exhibits
erratic mouse behavior in the GUI. But this only occurs after a reboot.
The problem is apparently that there are 2 mouse device programs running
at once. By killing gpm in bash, the problem is resolved.

In my case, the problem was with the video hardware cursor (thanks for
the idea D'jinnie). I am using the svga Xserver with a Cirrus Logic
GD5430 PCI video card. Using the "sw_cursor" option in the Device
section (for the Cirrus Logic) of the XF86Config file solved the
problem.

I am experiencing the same problem - the only difference I can see from
previous config was that it tries to use hardware cursor (that's the only
line that even remotely pertains that I can see). Any guesses?
