You don't need to disable gpm. Go to /etc/rc.d/init.d . 
Edit the file gpm . and add a -R option to the line having 
daemon gpm -t $MOUSETYPE

Then restart gpm , using 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm restart

In your XF86Config, use /dev/gpmdata as your pointer 
device and MouseSystems as the protocol. It will work fine.
