This used to be true with very old versions of GPM, but nowadays you
can run GPM in Repeater mode. This will allow you to use the mouse
both under X and in TTY mode. You should also take a look at kmouse
(which is available from tsx-11); this is a kernel loadable module
that performs most of what GPM used to do. It has the added benifit of
clustering mouse events which makes mouse movements a lot less
sluggish when running X under high load.
