I have no problems running X with a 2 button + wheel (which acts as a
third button, plus 4 + 5 for the up and down movement of the wheel)
Microsoft Intellimouse. I never got gpm to work happily with it, so I
stopped using gpm (I almost never do console stuff, so I didn't really
care), but X works great.

(Xfree86 3.3.2.3)

/etc/X11/XF86Config:
[snip]
Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "imps/2"
    Device      "/dev/mouse"
    ZAxisMapping 4 5
[snip]

X might get unhappy if you have a protocol of ps/2 instead of imps/2 and
you have a wheel mouse. I don't know, though...
