the hotplugging code takes over and ignores any mouse driver settings in the
configuration. You'd need to disable hotplugging as well to make the mouse
section actually take effect.

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
EndSection

I think what Risto said is correct, but even easier - as far as I
understand X, which admittedly is not that much - it should be possible to
simply create /etc/X11/xorg.conf with only the sections relevant to your
mouse. That way you can use the goodness of X automagical configuration
for
everything, except the mouse where it's obviously not working.

I'm not sure about this, I have only done this on Debian Lenny, but I
have not heard that xorg.conf had disappeared.

So I think that you can run X -configure (as root) and xorg.conf will
be created. Then you can edit the mouse protocol, as before.
