 I bumped into this problem, too. However, I think it is not related to
 moused, since when using protocol "Auto" and device "/dev/psm0" (i.e., no
 moused running), the mouse gets frozen after CTRL-ALT-Fn switching.
 It seems that protocol "Auto" does not work correctly, despite of
 the mouse device.
 
 Try to set protocol "MouseSystems" in your XF86Config. Surprisingly,
 protocol "SysMouse" does no work for me with XFree86 4.0.1 and moused.
