The default XFree86 config file written by the fedora installer
configures it for both those input types.. And that the
gnome-control-center applet configures the Mouse0 entry (CorePointer),
which is the old style /dev/psaux one.. So judging by your input the
config file written the actual bug is that the xfree86 default config
file should not include both mouse types, but only the /dev/input/mice
one.. (Which ofcource opens up a whole can of worms about ppl running an
old 2.4.x kernel w/ FC2..)

The input subsystem of 2.6 kernels is very different from 2.4. In fact,
with 2.6 kernels, all mices are multiplexed into a single device called
/dev/input/mice. Thus, you can define a single Mouse in XF86Config
pointing to /dev/input/mice instead of having several mouse entries.
This works for me and my laptop with a built-in PS/2 touchpas and a USB
Wheel Mouse.
