   Hi Michael,
   
if it is the same mouse-effect I recognized as I tried 
  to configure  
   my X...
   
It may be that the auto settings for the protocol fail 
  to detect  
   the correct protocol (the wrong protocol was the reason for 
  the wild  
   mouse in my case...).
   
I cannot determine the kind of mouse (manufacturer, brand,
interface...) from the output you send with your mail...
   
My mouse is identified at boot time like this:
   
  input: Logitech N48 as /class/input/input0
  input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Logitech N48] on usb-:00:10.0-2.4
   
it is an three-button USB-mouse (Logitech).
   
I configured it in xorg.conf like:
   

   IdentifierMouse1
   Drivermouse
   Option Protocol  IMPS/2
   Option Device/dev/input/mice
   Option Buttons   5
   Option ZAxisMapping  4 5 
   
   
HTH
   
Have a nice weekend!

  I was wrong about her mouse being the same as mine:  Her's is 
  a Mitsumi wheel mouse and mine is a Logitech wheel mouse.  Is 
  there a way to view the boot up messages without actually 
  rebooting?  Also, I pulled this from her dmesg output:
  
  catherine ~ # dmesg | grep 'ouse'
  psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost 
  synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away.
  psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost 
  synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away.
  psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost 
  synchronization, throwing 3 bytes away.

 Any chance you are using a KVM Switch? -- ive had problems like that in
 gnome for years using kvm switches.  Now I use fluxbox

What's a KVM switch?  I changed the protocol in my wife's xorg.conf file
and she says it's behaving itself so far.  I'll let you know if it
starts going screwey again...

A KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) switch is a hardware device that lets you
use one keyboard, video  mouse one 2 to 8 (or more) computers.  Very
neat, especially for server rooms.

Anyway, I had the same problem as you, and changing the protocol from
auto to something specific fixed it for me...
