Likely causes:
	gpm is configured and both x and gpm are using the same device
	gpm is configured, X is using /dev/gpmdata and the repeat type
		isn't raw, and X is getting the wrong mouse protocol
	gpm is configured, the repeat type for gpm is raw, X is using
		/dev/gpmdata, but protocol in XF86Config is incorrect.

Check /etc/gpm.conf repeat_type and device
Check /etc/XF86Config-4 Option "Device" and Option "Protocol"

If you are using gpm, it is recommended to set repeat_type=raw
and in XF89Config-4 use Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata" and
Option "Protocol" whatever your mouse is.
