BTW: Commenting out or in ports in /etc/services does not disallow or allow services. /etc/services is just a mapping between the friendly name and the port number. A daemon process can start and run without any reference in /etc/services if it opens the port based on port number.
If you call a service by name, then yes the mapping helps to find the port.... however this is not enabling a port, per se, just doing the port number to name mapping......
On another note....
Might be easier to just see if you can use a program like lsof to find out what process using the port.. then you can follow the trail to the parent processes to find out where the process is initiated.

xgetpointermapping
XSetPointerMapping(3X11) XLIB FUNCTIONS XSetPointerMapping(3X11)
NAME
XSetPointerMapping, XGetPointerMapping - manipulate pointer settings
SYNTAX
int XSetPointerMapping(display, map, nmap)
Display *display;
unsigned char map[];
int nmap;
int XGetPointerMapping(display, map_return, nmap)
Display *display;
unsigned char map_return[];
int nmap;
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
map Specifies the mapping list.
map_return
Returns the mapping list.
nmap Specifies the number of items in the mapping list.
DESCRIPTION
The XSetPointerMapping function sets the mapping of the pointer. If it succeeds, the X server generates a MappingNotify event, and XSet-
PointerMapping returns MappingSuccess. Element map[i] defines the logical button number for the physical button i+1. The length of the
list must be the same as XGetPointerMapping would return, or a BadValue error results. A zero element disables a button, and elements are
not restricted in value by the number of physical buttons. However, no two elements can have the same nonzero value, or a BadValue error
results. If any of the buttons to be altered are logically in the down state, XSetPointerMapping returns MappingBusy, and the mapping is
not changed.
XSetPointerMapping can generate a BadValue error.
The XGetPointerMapping function returns the current mapping of the pointer. Pointer buttons are numbered starting from one. XGetPoint-
erMapping returns the number of physical buttons actually on the pointer. The nominal mapping for a pointer is map[i]=i+1. The nmap argu-
ment specifies the length of the array where the pointer mapping is returned, and only the first nmap elements are returned in map_return.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadValue Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request. Unless a specific range is specified for an argu-
ment, the full range defined by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of alternatives can generate this
error.
