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" Kazu
