Sounds like a protocol issue. What mouse are you using?

You can't enable the sysmouse *and* run the mouse thru X. I don't run
sysmouse myself, so I can't help you with that. As for running thru
X, here is my mouse section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
Option "BaudRate" "9600"
Option "Resolution" "400"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "3"
EndSection
The Protocol setting should work for you, but unless you have a mouse
with a wheel, you should leave out the ZAxisMapping, and if your mouse
has only two buttons, you need to add an emulate command - I don't
remember it offhand, look in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/ for a lot of
info, particularly in README.mouse.

I had a little bit of a headache setting it up at first because of the
config syntax and directive changes, but once I caught on (read half
the docs in the directory I gave above) I had no trouble. And it
really is pretty cool. Runs the mousewheel for many apps itself, so
no need for imwheel.
