I'll tinker...

As suggested by Tyler Braun, I used:

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"

and it worked.

That did the trick.  I also noticed that I'm no longer using 

        FontPath        "unix/:7100"                    # local font server

so presumably I'm no longer using xfstt (I'll dig into this later).
 
Thanks!
