I think you need to set corepointer=0 in the FDI file or something similar to that. Or if you're using xorg.conf point it to a specific mouse instead of /dev/mice or whatever the catch-all mouse device is. May be able to get rid of it "even more" with udev rules or something to just make it go away. Sorry I don't have specific examples, I'm on a windows machine right now.
