Unlikely to be your base problem but:
(Ryan Merrisk's response is probably more relevant for that)
the in following '/dev/sysmouse' suggests you are running 'moused'. But I 
don't believe 'moused' reports in Microsoft protocol. 
<Quote>
    Identifier	"Mouse1"
    Driver	"mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "Microsoft"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/sysmouse"
</Quote>

I suggest instead
    Option "Protocol" "auto"
or perhaps
    Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems"
