Turning off gpm is oneway but there is a better way. Read from /dev/gpmdata and read with intellimouse or ms mode if you are using default /etc/gpm.conf.
There areadvantage to do this. No matter what happens with mouse, you do not need to restart X but simply restart gpm which get everything in order. Unplug it if you feel like. Also link /dev/mouse to /dev/gpmdata, then X can read from /dev/mouse. GPM should always read from /dev/psaux.
