Console ps2 mouse behavior control (was : Re: test)

It does not for me, specially in console mode : when running sysinstall 
test mouse configuration any move of the mouse close and open several 
times that dialogue same way if I taped enter on the keyboard. Wich 
should not be as the others (non auto) protocols do not act that way.
I verified mouse cable connection wich could give also such a behavior 
but it did not change anything.

Excepted I leaved Mouse0 that's exactly my /etc/X11/XF86Config file.

And what I am looking for is a correct behavior of the mouse even in 
console mode (before starting XFree).

cat/etc/XF86Config | grep moused
moused_enable="YES"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="ps/2"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
mousedd_type="mousesystems"
moused_enable="YES"
moused_type="NO"
moused_enable="NO"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
mousedd_type="mousesystems"
moused_enable="YES"
moused_flags=""
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
mousedd_type="intellimouse"
moused_enable="YES"

I presume the last three lines are the executed ones ?
And sure I need to clean that file.

cat /etc/X11/XF86Config | grep mouse
Driver		"mouse"
Option		"Device" "/dev/sysmouse"

That's all I get, using ee I can tell you

ee /etc/X11/XF86Config
     Identifier  "Mouse0"
     Driver      "mouse"
     Option "Protocol"    "MouseSystems"
     Option "Device"      "/dev/sysmouse"
     Option "Buttons" "5"

But the bad behavior is not only in XServer but in console mode.

dmesg | grep psm
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: model 4D+ Mouse, device ID 8

Well what is a newbie then ?
I would be afraid to do such bad things than no 72 caracters lines ;-/ 
or even worst (I'm able for worst)
