Here's what works with my Logitech Marble mouse USB on Knoppix loaded to
hdd (testing/unstable):

in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

add the following line to the"ServerLayout" section
	InputDevice    "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"

Create this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "USB Mouse"
	Driver          "mouse"
	Option          "Device" 		"/dev/input/mice"
	Option          "SendCoreEvents" 	"true"
	Option          "Protocol" 		"IMPS/2"
	Option 		"ZAxisMapping" 		"4 5"
	Option 		"Buttons" 		"5"
	Option 		"SendCoreEvents" 	"true"
EndSection
