hehe - i had the reverse effect: when x is configured for imps/2, then i
HAVE TO run gpm with imps2 - in the other case i get only protocoll
errors.
as somebody already mentioned before me, only one type of logitech-mice
works well for sure: the boxed version. the oem version has a zilog-chip,
which is (was(?)) not supported. the so-called "bulk"-version might work
or not. newer versions seem not to work (they have the zilog-chip also).
there is a reference to a nice page about wheel-mice in the
3-button-mouse mini-howto. the url is
http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/
however - X has (had(?)) the problem with the zilog chips, too. but
possibly this has been fixed.
