Any help! thanks! No clue if that would cuase it. Try asking around on the X mailing list. The only time I've had this problem has been a crappy mouse, but given it works works on console now, I think that can be ruled out. Try setting the device as /dev/sysmouse. That iirc is the device that moused kicks stuff out to or something like that.
