On the box with X, put in gpm.conf
repeat_type=raw
and point X to /dev/gpmdata (no need to change the driver in X config).

Try running gpmconfig on the 2nd box. Also if you disconnect the mouse
while gpm is running - if its anything like my MS Optical (laser) mouse
you'll have to restart gpm for it to initialize.

Cheers,
Chris
