This is how my mouse section reads:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "imps/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "Buttons" "6"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection

'imps/2' is usually the correct protocol. You may need to edit your
'/etc/devfsd.conf'. This is the relevant section from mine:
# Create /dev/mouse
LOOKUP ^mouse$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink misc/psaux mouse
REGISTER ^misc/psaux$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname mouse
UNREGISTER ^misc/psaux$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink mouse
# Manage USB mouse
#REGISTER ^input/mouse0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname usbmouse
#UNREGISTER ^input/mouse0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink usbmouse
REGISTER ^input/mice$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname usbmouse
UNREGISTER ^input/mice$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink usbmouse
I am pretty sure that the /dev/mouse lines were in the default version
included with sys-apps/baselayout, but I may have wrote the USB mouse
stuff myself. You can either try this, or change the "Device" line from
XF86Config to "/dev/input/mice" or "/dev/input/mouse0". "input/mice" is a
composite of all the USB mice installed in your system (i.e. input/mouse0
input/mouse1, input/mouse2, etc.), and is probably the one you want
to use.
