       The X Consortium requests that the following names be used
       when referring to this software:

				   X
			    X Window System
			      X Version 11
		      X Window System, Version 11
				  X11

That said, it's either a) your mouse not configured right in
/etc/XF86Config, man XF86Config, or b) moused is running. Kill
moused and try again.
