AFAIR psaux is now also handled by input layer.  So be sure to not have
psaux and input/mice in XF86Config. http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/2199

Maybe that's due to the /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers change.  -dpi 100 was set there,
now the setting is removed because most/many x drivers automaticly get the
right dpi setting from bios.  But, e.g., radeon driver can't and so xserver
uses the default 75dpi. Or you update the xserver and now dpi is now set
to the correct value instead of 75 dpi.

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
