It could also be gpm. Make sure gpm is NOT RUNNING while the X Server is running. You can run `/etc/init.d/gpm stop` to stop the gpm daemon if it is running. I don't personally use gpm so I created a false /etc/init.d/gpm file that basically has "exit 0" at the top to keep any packages who might installed gpm from actually starting it in the future.
