The problem is in your XFree86 configuration.  Set your mouse protcol to
"auto" and you shouldn't have any more problems.  For example:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option      "Buttons" "5"
EndSection

This assumes you have moused running.
