Hmm, I don't know if you can run gpm and X at the same time. Gpm is a
mouse driver for text terminals. I don't use it, so I can't help you
here.

I doubt it. That's a serial port, and a ps/2 mouse goes into the
system bus. My ps/2 mouse is on /dev/psaux ... that's likely where yours
is. Edit /etc/X11/XF86CONFIG and change the mouse settings to /dev/psaux
and the psaux driver ... here's the relevant section of mine.
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/psaux"
Emulate3Buttons
Emulate3Timeout 50
EndSection
If this doesn't work, watch the kernel messages on the screen for things
like
"PS/2 auxiliary pointing device detected -- driver installed."
