I've got the same mouse, rh5.2 and the same problem.  'gpm -t ps2'  will
set gpm to look for a generic busmouse, but that's probably what you're
running.  The intellimouse is supposed to work with 'gpm -t ms3.'  I
can't get it to work with either the ps2 or ms3 setting.  With the ms3
setting, I get no cursor.
