Hi,

I don't know how to setup gpm (I don't use the mouse, and screen
provides copy/paste capabities), but X11 is using /dev/input/mice with
the imps/2 protocol.  Perhaps you can use the same device and ps/2 to
configure gpm.  IIRC, you then have to change your X11 configuration
(should one exist) so that it will cooperate with gpm.
