Already done...

# rpm -q gpm
gpm-1.20.1-dt8

# ps -e o pid,user,cmd | grep gpm
 2068 root     gpm -m /dev/input/event0 -t evdev -o type=synaptics -M -m /dev/input/mice -t imps2

I believe the issue is that /dev/input/event0 can't be opened by
multiple things (gpm and X) in 2.4 as can be done in 2.6.
