Did you try:

    1. don't run moused

    2. make sure psm device is in your kernel. eg:

        # dmesg | grep psm
        psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
        psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3

    3. Use the "auto" driver:

        Section  "InputDevice"
            Identifier  "Mouse1"
            Driver  "mouse"
            Option "Protocol"    "auto"
            Option "Device"      "/dev/psm0"
        EndSection
