For Logitech PS2 mice, you should try uisng the MouseManPlusPS/2 
protocol.  Here is a snippet from my XF86Config-4

Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
       Driver          "mouse"
       Option          "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2"
       Option          "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
       Option          "Device" "/dev/psaux"
       Option          "SendCoreEvents" "true"
EndSection

Hope this helps,
Johnny
