Klaus is right it's /dev/input/mice or /dev/input/mouse0 ...
I did start KNOPPIX and copied the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to my hard disk

Then the USB-Mouse did work flawlessly ...

PS: Entry in XF86Config-4
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
PPS: I have the same mouse (Logitech IFeel so it should work!)
