What if you add a ServerLayout section such as the following?

    Section "ServerLayout"
            Identifier      "Default Layout"
            Screen          "Default Screen"
            InputDevice     "Generic Keyboard"
            InputDevice     "Configured Mouse"
    EndSection

The code to handle partial config files changed a bit recently. I guess
it adds a mouse section using the mouse driver and ignores yours. We
might need to fix this.
