I'm not sitting at the machine with the MouseSystems mouse, so I can't give you my exact set up, but to get it to work, I had to enable either the DTR or RTS option; MouseSystems mice apparently use hardware handshaking. When I wasn't using moused, I put the DTR/RTS option in the X config file. When I enabled moused, I took it out of the X file and added -D or -R to my moused options. Hope this helps...
