Unlikely to be your base problem but:

don't believe 'moused' reports in Microsoft protocol.=20
<Quote>
    Identifier=09"Mouse1"
    Driver=09"mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "Microsoft"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/sysmouse"
</Quote>

I suggest instead
    Option "Protocol" "auto"
or perhaps
    Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems"
