I notice in your config that you don't have gpm being used as a repeater device (I.E. the -R option). That won't work will it? I've always had to make gpm repeat and have X use /dev/gpmdata in order to make gpm and X work correctly with the mouse. How can you get gpm and X to both work without that option? Is your /dev/mouse a symlink to /dev/psaux as I am assuming?
I was able to get the scrolling wheel to work if I disabled gpm and used the IMPS/2 protocol in the X config file (along with the ZAxisMapping), but I couldn't get it to work with /dev/gpmdata and MouseSystems protocol, which are the two I've always had to use to get X and gpm to play nice. Is there another way?
