you didn't happen to add the repeater (-r) or multiple (-M) flag to
your gpm services did you?  perhaps you were trying to configure a
more responsive/sensitive mouse through yast and it might have added
those flags without your explicit knowlege maybe.

if so, X would get mouse activity input from /dev/gpmdata and the
device is "MouseSystems" for your /etc/XF86Config file.
