I never enable moused as I don't want a mouse pointer in my terminal. It's 
not required for X (as others have said).

From your dmesg:

From your XF86Config:

For the Device section above, try /dev/psm0 - That's how I use it. 
Actually, I have one line each for USB and PS/2. Also, I think the DTR and 
RTS stuff is only for serial mice? Are you *sure* you selected the ps2 
mouse style during xf86config? The protocol should be "PS/2". So re-write 
this with:

 Section "InputDevice"
     Identifier      "Mouse1"
     Driver  "mouse"
     Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"
     Option "Device"      "/dev/psm0"
     Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
 EndSection

The ZAxisMapping is for your mousewheel. You can also add or fake 3-button 
support here. See the comments in your XF86Config file.
