If you are running X anyway, then the simplest solution is probably just to bypass the kernel mouse code entirely. Just change the mouse in your XF86Config from /dev/mouse to /dev/psm0 (for a PS/2 mouse, the most likely choice) or whatever your real underlying mouse device is and restart X. Then you won't be using the the kernel-based "sysmouse" driver at all, just X mouse support. -- Brian T.
