It's works for me:
Logitech UltraX optical mouse, USB-mode

dmesg:
ums0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, rev 2.00/20.00, addr 3, iclass 3/1
ums0: 4 buttons and Z dir.

xorg.conf:
...
Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier  "Mouse1"
     Driver      "mouse"
     Option "Protocol"    "Auto"
     Option "Device"      "/dev/sysmouse"
     Option      "Buttons"   "6"
     Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
