Hi Eduardo, 

Something similar happened to me as well with a ps2 mouse, but in my case I 
always had mouse again at X if I was going to a text terminal and then back 
to X. gpm didn't work as a rc script, but it worked afterwards by doing 
/etc/rc.d/gpm start from a tty command line. I didn't get help on this and my 
fix I think you will find unacceptable, I bought another mouse, an optical 
USB/PS2.

Sorry, do not know more.

Jose
