Does the mouse work in the console?  If not, then the advice I give below doesn't
apply, and your moused config is wrong (although it looks correct from here).

I expect you have the wrong protocol for the mouse.  Try adding:
Option "Protocol" "Auto"

which worked for me (I have a Logitech dual-lazer mouse with 5 buttons and
a massage attachment)

If that doesn't work, do a little research on the specific brand of mouse
you have to see what Protocol setting will work.
