Interesting. When I changed XF86Config-4 to:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  	"Mouse0"
	Driver      	"mouse"
	Option 		"Protocol" 		"evdev"
	Option 		"Dev Phys" 		"usb-0000:00:07.2-2/input0"
##	Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"X"
##	Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"Y"
 	Option      	"Buttons"       	"7"
	Option      	"ZAxisMapping"  	"4 5 6 7"
	Option 		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
EndSection

I got "device not found" I got that phys. dev. from 
/proc/bus/input/devices because there are 2 USB mice, both A4Tech.
