  I had to deal with the same problem but with other mouse (primax I 
think) the answer can split in two depending on your mouse:

     i) your mouse hasn't switch to change between Micro$oft and 
  MouseSystem mode then try gpm -t ms and in X put the protocol as
  Micro$oft , usually this work

    ii) your mouse has the switch then put the mouse in MouseSystem mode 
  (switch to PC) and use gpm -t msc (I think this correspond to MouseSystem 
  mode) and in X put the protocol as MouseSystems.

in both cases you must disable SampleRate, BaudRate, ClearDTR and ClearDTS;
finally one thing more: be sure that your mouse is attached to COM2 ;-)
