Are you running GPM? GPM and X can conflict when running at the same
time. There's a solution: Configure GPM as a 'Repeater' and then
configure X to use /dev/gpmdata as mouse. To configure GPM as a
Repeater, check man gpm. The options should be written to
/etc/gpm.conf (/usr/sbin/gpmconfig can be used to do that).
