My mouse (ps/2 generic) was wigging out under X but not console either so I let X4 detect the protocol and all worked out: Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" Never had problems with the mouse under X 3.3.x however. If your problem is related to 3.3.x perhaps you may need to cvsup /usr/src and make world, I seem to recall that being an answer for a friend of mine having similar problems with X4 that my above example didn't fix.
