If you have a PS/2 mouse (with a little circular plug), its device name is
/dev/psaux and you should tell X that it is a PS2 mouse rather than a
Microsoft mouse. (The device /dev/psaux is a character device with major
number 10 and minor number 1.)
The XF86Config file should contain these lines:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/psaux"
EndSection
