You might want to read the USB docs in the /usr/src/linux/Documentation
directory. I got a Logitech optical mouse too connected to the USB port
and it works just fine. Just FYI, here is the relitive lines and /dev/
enttry.... 


Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"

        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Protocol" "ImPS/2"

        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Also, there is a program that shows what USB devices are connected and
that is usbview. :)
