I'm running the beta of YDL 2.0 and I use:

gpm -t ps2 /dev/input/mice

the line is in /etc/sysconfig/mouse

cat /etc/sysconfig/mouse

MOUSETYPE="imps2"
XMOUSETYPE="IMPS/2"
FULLNAME="Universal Serial Bus 3+ Button Mouse (USB)"
XEMU3=no
gpm -t ps2 /dev/input/mice

running /etc/sysconfig/mouse is the first thing done by
 /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm
which in turn should be started as part of run level 5.
Is it?
