    I'm no expert, but this has always worked for me:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier	"Mouse1"
    Driver	"mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "auto"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/sysmouse"
    Option "Buttons"       "5"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection

/dev/mouse is a symlink to /dev/sysmouse, so that should be fine.
but I remember having all kinds of trouble (read: erratic mouse
behavior) with anything other than "auto" for the "Protocol" option.
