If you are running X anyway, then the simplest solution is probably just to
bypass the kernel mouse code entirely.
Just change the mouse in your XF86Config from /dev/mouse to /dev/psm0 (for a
PS/2 mouse, the most likely choice) or whatever your real underlying mouse
device is and restart X.
Then you won't be using the the kernel-based "sysmouse" driver at all, just X
mouse support.
