I was able to move the mouse and see the cursor move.  I did not install 
gpm.tgz, just that one file.  I don't want to symlink /dev/mouse because 
it is normally /dev/psaux.  Do you want to check how gpm.tgz sets things 
up?  I will some day if not.

Try framebuffer yourself if you have a new enough card.
I don't expect to actually use these cards - I am happy with plain S3's.
