	There are some issues running both console and X mouse at the
	same time.  At least with Potato and I'm not the only one.
	Search the archives for a fix.  I haven't got mine to work both
	at the same time but it isn't a high priority for me.  Here is
	my pointer section in XF86Config -
	 Section "Pointer"
	   Protocol "ps/2"
	   Device "/dev/mouse"
	   Emulate3Buttons
	 EndSection

	 Run /etc/init.d/gpm stop 
	 to shut off the mouse on console then restart X with the new
	 pointer section and see if things work for you.
