There are some issues running both console and X mouse at the
same time. At least with Potato and I'm not the only one.
Search the archives for a fix. I haven't got mine to work both
at the same time but it isn't a high priority for me. Here is
my pointer section in XF86Config -
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "ps/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
Emulate3Buttons
EndSection
Run /etc/init.d/gpm stop
to shut off the mouse on console then restart X with the new
pointer section and see if things work for you.
