What kind of mouse are you using? Is it a PS2 mouse? USB? Serial?
If you do the following --
$ cat /dev/mouse
OR
$ cat /dev/psaux
(move the mouse around and press the mouse buttons)
-- do you see the terminal cursor move and random characters appear?
If not, you may want to verify what your mouse device is.
To reconfigure the gpm settings, you can run gpmconfig or manually edit
/etc/gpm.conf and restart the gpm service.
