Different devices, different protocols. I'd be willing to be that
you're talking about a laptop with a PS/2 touchpad and a USB scroll
mouse plugged in and that someone else set that up for you. :-).
Well, at least I don't know how you'd get two sections in use without
someone setting it up for you. I have two similar sections (except
using /dev/gpmdata for the touchpad) on my laptop at work.

Only the fact that X is directly accessing /dev/psaux. Having two
mice configured in X is irrelevant to gpm, as long as you don't have X
and gpm fighting over the PS/2 port.

That probably means you don't have a scroll wheel, or at least it
isn't working, on your USB mouse.
