That's odd.  You *did* try it with XFree86 protocol "Intellimouse"?
This is normally pretty foolproof if you have gpm running with
repeat_type=3Dms3.

That's expected.  "Intellimouse" is not the mouse's real protocol.
It's the simulated protocol used by the GPM repeater, the protocol
known as "ms3" in the GPM world.  The mouse's real protocol, other than
"auto", is "ExplorerPS/2" or "ImPS/2" (probably either one will work).
