Of course it can.

Try setting the "Device" to "/dev/sunmouse" and the "Protocol" to
"BusMouse".

I don't know if that's intended or not. But if some people have several
mice, then there must be several InputDevice sections of type mouse in the
config file. On my laptop, for example, I have the touchpad, the trackpad
(both are seen as only one mouse, a PS/2 one), and an USB mouse (which
will be handled differently).

Apart from reading the source, I don't know where to find the necessary
information.
