Are you using gpm in repeater mode (-R with /dev/gpmdata)
to somehow translate mouse buttons ?

There are a number of programs to translate input devices (via /dev/uinput),
including one written by yours truly... though given that gpm appears
to be present in the upgraded distribution, just making sure that
it runs with the correct options might be the easiest ?
