Mouse hangs in X

[Bill Moseley <moseley@hank.org>]

Every once in a while (more often in KDE than others) my mouse will freeze.
 I can still use the keyboard.

I see this in my output:

(EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/mice
        No such file or directory.
(EE) Generic Mouse: cannot open input device
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Generic Mouse"
(II) UnloadModule: "mouse"
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Configured Mouse" (type: MOUSE)

cat /etc/gpm.conf
#
device=/dev/psaux
responsiveness=
repeat_type=ms3
type=ps2
append=""

It's a Logitech basic ps2 optical wheel mouse.

Any suggestions?

Here's interesting parts of my XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "Default Layout"
        Screen          "Default Screen"
        InputDevice     "Generic Keyboard"
        InputDevice     "Configured Mouse"
        InputDevice     "Generic Mouse"
EndSection   


Thanks very much,
