Did you try:
1. don't run moused
2. make sure psm device is in your kernel. eg:
# dmesg | grep psm
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3
3. Use the "auto" driver:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
EndSection
