I'm actually against putting this mess into moused/syscons. Not being an RF engineer, I can't speak to that. Could be that there's a lot of crap around 300Mhz in urban areas or that's emitted by household appliances -- I don't know. Or it could be just Danny's place and my apt. (I have a lot of electronics around the computer). So maybe a bad choice of frequency by X-10, assuming they had much of a choice. Or bad filtering on the RF receiver. Beats me. The piece in moused doesn't have anything to do with this RF interference/filtering issue -- no hacks in the code, so IMO there should be no problem with having the support in there.
