I'd set Option "Protocol" "osmouse" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" inside the InputDevices Section of XF86Config-4. I have a serial mouse - when I was using settrans with -protocol microsoft, I had a mouse which was jumpy (to say the least), when I used settrans (with the flags to start anew) and specified a protocol of logitech, it now works fine. I believe that was what Ivan was seeing, too.
