[mouse setting] My mice jumps everwhere on screen

[Yin Ming]

OK, I've beaten it. Just wrong protocol. It's MS IntelliMouse, selecting
it by mouseconfig, then everything goes well.

And I found a /etc/systemconfig/mouse file which looks controling both
GPM and X, it may be higher in priority than XFconfig file, that's why I
cannot change settings under X. Seems no man pages mentions this
/etc/systemconfig/mouse file, any details about it?
