Thought I had already mentioned that neither dmesg or
/var/log/messages has any info about gpm.
grep gpm /var/log/messages only shows the stale pid being removed
dmesg|grep gpm <nothing>
What I'm asking for here is how to know what theh mouse is supposed to
be on if all the easy ways are not telling me.

I completely screwed up the advice given in the above edit: It should
have been like below to follow the advice given:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "gpm-mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Which I did try. The result was no gpm mouse. X starts but has no
mouse.

/dev/mouse is a symlink to gpmdata

/etc/gpm.conf is set to /dev/psaux. So the X mouse cannot be
... right?
Here is the current situation in /dev
ls -l /dev |grep 'mouse\|psaux\|gpm'
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 4 23:56 gpmdata
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Feb 28 21:41 mouse -> gpmdata
crw------- 1 root root 10, 1 Mar 4 23:45 psaux
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 32 Nov 4 14:52 usbmouse
How should it look by your technique?
