Well, changing MouseManPlusPS/2 to IMPS/2 (in XF86Config-4) seemed to do
the trick. Thank you!

Remember the "Identifier" in your InputDevice section must match what's
in your ServerLayout section:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "XFree86 Configured"
        Screen     0   "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Try it with IMPS/2 rather than MouseManPlusPS/2, and remember to use the
Option keyword as shown:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Also, I believe on RedHat systems, the proper config file is the one
named XF86Config-4.
