Chris,
This is usually an error with the protocol of the mouse. Try reconfiguring
XFree86 with XFree86 -configure. Then make sure that the mouse is set up
properly. If it was working correctly when you checked it in sysinstall (if
you enabled mouse support there), you can make X use that pipe by
connecting it to moused. To do this, set:
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
In your /etc/X11/XF86Config.
