I looked at my xorg.conf and I have UseEvents set to on/true:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
#NEW
Option "UseEvents" "true"
Option "XvmcUsesTextures" "false" # necessary for color
Chromakey OSD)
Option "NVAGP" "1" # some users report 2 or 3
works better
EndSection
I guess you could run in init3 and see if everything works...
