The following in my line for the touchpad on my Compaq Evo 800v notebook
and MS optical mouse.

Section "InputDevice"

~ Identifier "Mouse1"
~ Driver "mouse"
~ Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
~ Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

EndSection

# If you only have one mouse, the following would probably be what you #
# need and change USB as the corepointer.

Section "InputDevice"

~ Identifier "USB"
~ Driver "mouse"
~ Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
~ Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
~ Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection


Serverlayout section:

~ InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
~ InputDevice "USB" "SendCoreEvents"
