Andrew,

First check that driver for ps/2 is compiled into the kernel, do a cat
on the /dev/psaux. Then check gpm works in console mode. If all works
well, which means X is either not configured properly or there maybe a
conflict between X and gpm. Try turning off gpm and start X again.

Cheers
Regit
