Well, I got it at least.

Did you send GPM a SIGWINCH when you resized the screen?  If you're using
SVGATextMode, you can do this automatically by adding the line:

	ResetProg "/usr/local/sbin/gpmresize"

in the /etc/TextConfig file. The contents of /usr/local/sbin/gpmresize
would be something like this:

#!/bin/sh
# Notify gpm that the screen size has changed
killall -WINCH gpm

I don't knwow what the official site is, but ftp://animal.unipv.it/pub/gpm/
