The problem is, there's another entry for mouse under section 4:
------snip of man 4 mouse--------
MOUSE(4) Linux Programmer's Manual MOUSE(4)
NAME
mouse - serial mouse interface
CONFIG
Serial mice are connected to a serial RS232/V24 dialout line, see
ttyS(4) for a description.
------end snip--------------
which is rather different from the entry in section 4x
------snip of man /usr/man/man4/mouse.4x.gz-------
MOUSE(4x) MOUSE(4x)
NAME
mouse - Mouse input driver
SYNOPSIS
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "idevname"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "protoname"
Option "Device" "devpath"
...
EndSection
-------end snip---------------------
[07:16 PM]wwong ~ $ find /usr/man/ -name mouse.*
/usr/man/man4/mouse.4x.gz
/usr/man/man4/mouse.4.gz
Any ideas?

p.s. my apologies for hi-jacking the thread. The issue came up when I
