I used 1.20.1. I compiled the version with patch and without patch and
installed them into /opt/gpm-{1,2}. Both versions works with
/dev/input/mice as expected, so there shouldn't be anything wrong.

I only have one serial mouse (no PS/2, no USB, no touchpad :(), so I
can't help with testing much in this way. Anyway, I'm willing to test any
patches you send me.
