If you're using the new input layer, running 
dmesg | grep mouse
will hopefully give you something like:

ADB mouse at 3, handler set to 4 (trackpad)
mouse1: PS/2 mouse device for input3

This is just an example, and you may get a different mouseX. Anyway, in
this example, the device you should be using is /dev/input/mouse1. Make a
link to /dev/mouse (ln -s /dev/input/mouse1 /dev/mouse), and edit
your XF86Config to use /dev/mouse with the PS/2 protocol.

This will hopefully get your mouse working, but since X crashes it seems
like you're using the wrong server. I've never heard of a mis-configured
mouse making X crash.
