Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2004-02-19 05:20:35 UTC 
Change your /dev/mouse to point to /dev/input/mice instead of /dev/psaux.
Comment 2 Eido Inoue 2004-02-19 15:25:04 UTC 
Shouldn't gpm default to /dev/input/mice if it exists?
Comment 3 tom 2004-02-19 22:27:39 UTC 
this worked
cd /dev/
mv psaux psaux-orig
ln -s /dev/input/mice psaux

/etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm start
