On my desktop system with a Logitech PS/2 mouse, XF 4.0.2 worked with
moused, but the mouse pointer seemed to move very oddly (sort of a choppy
motion) and clicks sometimes didn't register.  I killed moused and switched
XF to PS/2 protocol and it works fine now.  There's definitely something
going on between moused and XF 4.0.2.
