I'd try:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
You will need to keep the Identifier the same as you are now using.
These strings are referenced from other parts of the config. You may
need added option lines for 3 button emulation or for a wheel.
