My mouse section in XF86Config-4 looks like this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

That assumes that /dev/input/mice exists and all necessary modules are
loaded (IIRC, USB mice need the hid module along with the mousedev
module). I normally do a 'cat /dev/input/mice' just to make sure that
the device is actually working.
