replace $arguement with the protocol you want to use...if ps2 is working, don't change it. if it doesn't work, you'll have to tweak on the protocols a little.
gpm -R raw -t ps2
would tell gpm to read the incoming signal from /dev/mouse as ps2 and forward to /dev/gpmdata as the original, "raw" input. if you're having some problems here, you're going to have to try other settings. BTW, you don't have to reboot to test the configuration. "gpm -k" kills the gpm daemon and running /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm will restart it with your new settings.
to change to /dev/gpmdata, you need to modify your configuration file....XF86Config, or whatever. the "Pointer" section should have two entries named "Protocol" and "Device"...they allow you to change the mouse protocol X uses and the device file it uses for input. change the device there, or you can set the device during configuration....either in xf86cfg, XF86Setup or xf86config, depending on which version of XF86 you're using.
