did you try to turn off the gpm? you might have better luck to first
try to make it work under X without gpm.
I have tried various mouse settings recently and got to the point that
mouse refused to work at all, both in gpm and X. I had to reboot, not
sure what happened. so try to turn o gpm completely off (so that it's
not even started during boot) and try to solve the mouse-in-X probl;em
first.
