the mouse thing is usually gpm for me... to test this, go to console as root and execute '/etc/init.d/gpm stop', usually fixes the mouse controlling problem in x... for a permanent fix either uninstall gpm or move the /etc/rc2.d/S??gpm link to a subdirectory called /etc/rc2.d/disabled/. there is also a way to set gpm up to be used as a repeater, but i have never used gpm much and didn't bother to figure it out...
hope this works for you...
