I had exactly the same problem. After browsing a bit
in the /etc/rc.d init scripts, I found the cause:
for some unknown reason, there was no link in the
/etc/rc3.d (or /etc/rc5.d) pointing to the gpm script
in /etc/rc.d/init.d directory.
For some reason, this only happen with _serial_ mouses,
not with PS/2 ones, which may explain that it was overlooked
during testing ...
Just make a link like this:
# cd /etc/rc3.d (or rc5.d if you start directly into X)
# ln -sf ../init.d/gpm S85gpm
At your next reboot you are set. If you don't want to reboot yet,
just type:
# gpm -K
# ./S85gpm start
