The following works fine with a Logitech UltraX optical mouse.
However, I have using it in PS2 mode and not usb.  Maybe the problem is
there?

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        option      "Buttons" "6"
EndSection
