The problem is in your XFree86 configuration. Set your mouse protcol to
"auto" and you shouldn't have any more problems. For example:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
This assumes you have moused running.
