FYI, gpm supports imps2 protocol now. This is with version 1.19.3 on my PPC.
gpm -t help
...
ps2 (PS/2) - For most PS/2 mice (round with 6 metal pins).
fups2 (PS/2) - For BROKEN PS/2 mice (round with 6 metal pins).
...
imps2 - For wheel mice on a PS/2 port (round connector with 6
pins), 3 buttons (wheel is repeated).
fuimps2 - For BROKEN wheel mice on a PS/2 port
(round connector with 6 pins), 3 buttons (wheel is
repeated).
