Ah!, ok, well use the converter plug usb>ps2 which logitec supplied, plug the 
thing into the mouse ps2 socket and tell gpm it has a ps2 mouse.
gpm -m /dev/mouse -t ps2
Make sure the device files are linked correctly, /dev/mouse should be linked 
to psaux.
You use kde3, PS/2 should be ok in XF86Config, users of kde2 need to define 
this sort of mouse as IMPS/2.

They say it can be made to work as an usb mouse, i had no luck, looks like 
logitec knew what they were doing when they decided to supply a converter 
plug with those mice. ;-)
