This seems to be a very common question, and is well documented in the list archives, but here it is anyway.
1. Setup gpm to use /dev/psaux, set the type as imps2, and set the repeat_type to raw. This should get the mouse working nicely in the console. 2. Set X to use the ImPS/2 protocol, and use /dev/gpmdata as the device, that should get it working in X as well. Sean
