I went by the steps at http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html and it worked - I think as long as you change the device you point to in XF86Config either way works. An interesting test is to cat /dev/input/mice (or /dev/usbmouse) and if you see weird chars then you should be all set as long as X points to that device, too.
