have you added the Input Device Section to your XF86Config-4 ?

this is bad :)

as another message pointed out the corret module to load is mousedev,
not usbmouse:
you only need
<M>   USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support
[*]     HID input layer support
under *USB support*

and 
<M> Input core support
[...]
<M>   Mouse support
under *Input core support*
