One other note on this. If you are running Kudzu, it may detect your usb mouse
during boot up and want to configure it for you.
Don't let it!!
It will remove your ps2 mouse and you will be stuck with an X windows that
will only work if you have the usb mouse plugged in. Just tell it to ignore
the new hardware.
I've lost count of how many time I've made that mistake.

Just to close the loop on this thread, here's what I ended up doing
to get my USB mouse working. All of the changes shown here were made
in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, and were essentially the same as Brian sent
in his earlier email.
First, I added a line to my "ServerLayout" section:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Anaconda Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "USB Mice" "AlwaysCore" # <--- new line here
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Now add a section for the new input device:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mice"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
It turns out I also had to tweak the declaration for my internal PS/2
trackpoint to use a different device than /dev/input/mice:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
# Modified by mouseconfig
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" # <-- tweak
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Now both of my mice are working and I'm a happy, happy camper. I'll show
you the new setup when I give my EUG-LUG talk in March.
