I have a MS "Wheel Mouse Optical USB and PS/2 Compatible" mouse and am
using the UBS-to-PS adapter because my KVM does not have USB.

gpm's set to the imps2 protocol and the repeater is in raw mode.

X is set to the IMPS/2 protocol.  Here is the section from my
XF86Config-4 file:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
        Option      "Buttons" "5"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
