Yes, me too. Bad news on that front. I've reinstalled completely

Could that be a wake up call ? Purge gpm. Reinstall it.

Ack, looks like I just trailed off there. What I meant to say was that

This looks okee.
You're sure `ps2' is the right protocol? When your mous has a scroll
wheel, you might try `imps2',

Right. Also, as I've said before, adding a symlink in the mix can only
confuse things further. Forget about a /dev/mouse symlink. Tell gpm to
use /dev/psaux and tell X to

I've been ignoring this issue and working on other things but I really
miss having my little rodent in text mode.
Its a logitec 3 button ps2, critter that works in X just fine.
I can't remember how to tell with no doubt where the mouse is
connected.
I've never been able to get gpm working successfully, so I gave up on it.
That said, do you get any output if you do an "/etc/init.d/gpm start"? I
think there's also some messages it will write in /var/log. Check
/var/log/messages, look for a /var/log/gpm, etc.
Dunno where the gpm config stuff is
