The type in /etc/sysconfig (for moused) should match the type of the mouse you're using. moused always emulates a mousesystems mouse, so if you're using /dev/sysmouse, then XFree should use the mousesystems type. Failing that, I don't know what to suggest. Running XFree 3.1 & 3.2 has worked perfectly with moused here for months. I use a 3-button no-name brand mouse with both microsoft & mousesystems protocols, but I only ever use the latter.
