Perhaps a ps/2 problem? Some kernels (2.4.17 iirc) had problems when
using mouse and keyboard at the same time.

gpm doesn't overwrite configuration files. Perhaps 
your distro did (although I don't believe that). 

I don't even think this is a gpm related problem, but
simply to verify that: kill gpm (gpm -k), start X and see if it
works or not. If it doesn't you should perhaps contact an Xfree86
help forum.

Have a nice day,

Nico
