 everything works flawlessly.

No no no NO NO NO!

Repeat in what gpm calls ms3 and what X calls IntelliMouse.

Though in bad taste, I'll reply above but leave the message intact
below.

In all protocols except ms3/IntelliMouse X4 attempts to communicate with
the mouse, trying this into a fifo is, err, a bad idea, largely because
X4 gets it right back as if it was sent by the mouse, resulting in the
erratic behaver.

How bad it is depends on the protocol, but ms3/IntelliMouse is the only
one which is actually safe, it also handles the mouse wheels.

 That worked also (ie, same result as type "raw" in gpm.conf and "IMPS/2"
 in XF86Config) ... I assumed that repeat type "imps2" would be logical,
 but when it cause the mouse to behave erratically under X.  Changing the
 repeat type to "raw" fixed that (from reading the man page, that seemed
 like the logical next step).
 
 The combo of "ms3" as repeat type and "intellimouse" in XF86Config seems a
 lot cleaner though.. while I don't see how "raw" was shooting myself in
 the foot (since everything worked), I appreciate the clarificaion.
