I’ve done alot with gpm. Could you be more specific? Try
to include the “Pointer” section of your XF86Config file?
Also what does the output of ‘ls -l /dev/gpmdata’ look
like? What X-server are you using? fbcon, maybe? From
what I understand gpm uses the switch into "graphics mode"
to determine if it should pass the data on to /dev/gpmdata,
or keep it for itself… I don’t know how this behaves with
fbcon. Also if you want to use a wheel or 4th button, etc
on one of the newer mice, you probably want to use "-R raw"
on one of the newer versions of gpm, and set the mouse-type
correctly in the XF86Config file. Otherwise the mouse type
should be “MouseSystems”… and in either case the device
should be “/dev/gpmdata”.
Best of luck,

Are you using gpm in the console? Which program are you executing with the
’-R’ cmd switch? How does it not work? Did you tell gpm the type of mouse
you have with the “-t” switch?
