Emacs does not receive GPM events, even if it is compiled with -lpgm (HAVE_GPM = 1), and (gpm-mouse-start) does not return error.
GPM in Midnight Commander works. Should GPM work in emacs? I met breakpoints in the places where the gpm event should be caught, and it does not catch any.
Can somebody help me please? I remember that it worked 1 year ago.

It seems to be due to this change:
1.974 (monnier 12-Sep-08): if (gpm < 0)
1.974 (monnier 12-Sep-08): /* Presumably the GPM daemon has closed the connection. */
1.974 (monnier 12-Sep-08): close_gpm ();
in tty_read_avail_input of keyboard.c. I don't understand it because the GPM
manual says about Gpm_GetEvent:
It returns 1 on success, -1 on failure, and 0 after closing the connection.
The ChangeLog entry says:
* keyboard.c (tty_read_avail_input): Forcefully close the gpm
connection if Gpm_GetEvent fails.
Perhaps Stefan can shed some light.

I need the gpm to work for one patch that I send next week.
Please, can somebody solve this bug of GPM?

It's all in http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=407
There's a suggested patch by Kevin Ryde, but I haven't had any time to
look at it, let alone try it.
