gpm problems with 1.20.{0, 1} and a Fujitsu Siemens IMPS/2 mouse

Hi Nico,
we have buyed a bunch of IMPS/2 mice from Fujitsu Siemens Computer. When
I start gpm version 1.20.0 or 1.20.1 on them I get in 4 of 5 cases the
following error and of course the mouse is not working after that.

	faui02e:~# /usr/local/bin/gpm -Rimps2 -m /dev/psaux -t imps2
	=== ERROR ===: [/tmp/gpm-1.20.0/src/mice.c(1755)]:
	imps2: Auto-detected unknown mouse type 250, assuming standard PS/2

It is a IMPS/2 mice with 5 buttons (or 3 buttons and a wheel). If you
insist I can send you one via snail mail.

The following patch solved the problem for me:

diff -ruN gpm-1.20.1.orig/src/mice.c gpm-1.20.1/src/mice.c

    }
    else gpm_report(GPM_PR_INFO,GPM_MESS_IMPS2_PS2);
