i've notice is that if my wheel start going crazy, if i kill X, my keypad stops 
working and bang, im good for a
hard reboot with the power button :(
as for the second entry for the mouse, do you mean in /dev?
if yes, no i didnt...(im gonna try)
M.B
 

No, I mean a second entry in the XF86Config like:
...
Section "ServerLayout"
       InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
       InputDevice    "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
       Option  "SendCoreEvents" "true"
...
End Section
...

Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier      "Mouse0"
       Driver          "mouse"
       Option          "Device"                "/dev/mouse1"
       Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"
       Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "yes"
       Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier  "Mouse1"
       Driver      "mouse"
       Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
       Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
       Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
       Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
After I added this stuff the touchpad and the mouse worked fine. I think 
the problem was that the touchpad had no wheel and such was not doing 
well with the IMPS/2 protokoll.
You could also try to deactivate the touchpad for testing and check if 
the problem goes away.
