You don't have to exit X to restart moused. You could $ ps -ax | grep mouse 200 ?? Is 0:00.35 moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto <-- find moused's pid 98347 p1 S+ 0:00.02 grep mouse ...and then $kill -1 200 <-- restart it (you may need to be [su'd to] root to do that) Sorry, I can't help with the underlying problem, though it sounds like you may have the wrong thing specified in your XF86Config.
