The reason for this is because yast2 mouse has been written to setup
the console mouse in other words the gpm mouse. The yast2 mouse module
additionally adapts the first (core pointer) input device section from the
X configuration with the selection made in the yast2 mouse module.
the core pointer functions in X often are way beyond the capabilities of
the console mouse
my suggestion is to remove the linkage between console and X11 mouse
from the yast2 mouse setup and maybe also rename yast2 mouse into yast2 gpm
or something
