Thanks for the suggestions guys, my mouse now works properly after I got
rid of gpm. However, when I enter Gnome now and start Gnome Terminal, some
of my keys on the Thinkpad are not mapped correctly. For example, when I
press the "/" key, I get a "-" (which was almost disastrous as I was trying
to search something in dselect and ended up almost uninstalling some random
apps) and when I press "&" I get "/" and other weirdness. It's probably a
keyboard setting file or something right? Can you point me to the right
direction? It works fine in the regular console (non-X) of course...
Still learning...

if you are running gpm, have you tried disabling it before starting X?
