>Description:
ALPS GlidePoint touchpad exhibits periodic eratic mouse movement and taps
when using touchpad under moused with xorg.conf using /dev/sysmouse.  With
xorg.conf using /dev/psm0 directly, touchpad does not exhibit eratic behavior.

Under moused, touchpad works normally most of the time, but every few minutes
when using the touchpad, the cursor performs a series of unexpected jumps
and pad taps.  The effect is that often text is unexpectedly selected and
may be unexpectedly pasted back, or that a browser "back" operation is
performed.  Often the first eratic jump is to the bottom of the screen.

There was no problem under 6-stable.
>How-To-Repeat:
Sony VAIO PCG-Z505SX running 7-stable.  Moused enabled.  Xorg.conf uses
/dev/sysmouse config, with modified ZAxisMapping so that tapping works:

rc.conf:
	moused_enable="YES"
	moused_flags="-3 -m 1=4"

xorg.conf:
	Section "InputDevice"
		Identifier  "Mouse0"
		Driver      "mouse"
		Option      "Protocol" "auto"
		Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
		#Option     "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
		Option      "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
	EndSection

>Fix:
None, as yet.
