I dunno about you, but I would. =)
Here's how I'm doing it (on a thinkpad t23, not that it really matters):
/etc/gpm.conf:
device=/dev/misc/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=raw
type=ps2
append=""
sample_rate=
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Protocol" "GlidePointPS/2"
EndSection
The key thing that you're missing is repeat_type=raw in the gpm.conf.
Oh, and mine says /dev/misc/psaux, which is the devfs path. /dev/psaux
is probably what you want on your system.
good times,
Vineet
