That is not possible with gpm. It is design to handle one mouse per port. The reason it works with ps/2 anyway is that both (or actually all three) are using the ps/2 protocol and the kbc is multiplexing them, so they are seen as one. As soon you ask one of them to use a special protocol you need some demultiplexing. > If I use the "imps2" protocol and repeat it with imps2, it somehow > does not arrive to X. I dont uderstand. Is gpm writing to gpmdata at all? or (which I believe) gpm doesnt even recognize the mouse data? > Currently I am trying the X ImPS2 driver, it works flawlessly until > I remove and replug the mouse (then the mouse and the touchpad stops working). > Anyone has any idea? Dont remove the mouse? :) I dont know how X is doing this, it might be smarter than gpm. If you want, you could implement the active ps/2 multiplexing suggested on the Synaptics homepage which gives you four individual ports (the touchpad, stick, and two external mice ports), then it would be easy to do what you want.
