I guess you are seeing conflicts between `moused' and the X server.
This is, in a sense, expected behavior.
When you use your mouse, PS/2 mouse or whatever, both in your console
and in your X, you tell `moused' the true type of your mouse and its
port. But tell the X server it should access the mouse at
`/dev/sysmouse' and the type of the mouse is `MouseSystems';
REGARDLESS of the actual type of your mouse.
To do this, you should put the following lines in the `Pointer'
section of your `XF86Config' (usually in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11):
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/sysmouse"
