Well, I'm definitely not a guru, but I'm using a USB mouse on Debian, and 
can try to point out what is different in my setup.

Try loading "mousedev" rather than "usbmouse".

This is what I have:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"USB Mice"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"CorePointer"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/input/mice"
	Option		"Protocol"		"ImPS/2"
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"false"
	Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"4 5"
EndSection

You might want to change "CorePointer" to "SendCoreEvents", or maybe you 
have that option specified in your "ServerLayout" section instead.
