I can't find easy to read docs on devfs yet, so rather than fix it
directly, I've simply told gpm to use the real mouse device in this file:
/etc/rc.d/config/basic

add to the mouse line the options:
"-m /dev/MOUSEDEV"
where "MOUSEDEV" is the actual dev for your system.  I have a ps/2 mouse,
so my line looks like: /dev/psaux
I do the same inside the XF86Config file.
