GPM has nothing to do with it. It's a driver "feature". When the mouse
"laser blinks" it reports the device as on or off.

You can remove the spam though by changing console log level to 4 or 3
(I think) (in /etc/sysconfig/console, not sure which parameter) or by
adding this parameter in /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3

or

kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7

(see
