Okay, now I know why it doesn't work. :-P  Every (Linux) install I have ever 
seen will only grab one mouse when configuring X.  Without knowing very 
much about your system, you can add the following lines to XF86Config-4 to 
get both mice working:

// Add this section anywhere.
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse2"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"
EndSection

// Add this line to the 'Section "ServerLayout"' portion.
    InputDevice    "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents"  

The former sets up the mouse driver, and the latter says to route all input 
to the "Core" (i.e. your USB) mouse.

Note that I have never tried the situation where the core mouse does not 
exist (your USB mouse is unplugged).  If X cannot handle this situation, 
then simply swap the "Identifier" portion of the "InputDevice" section.

Note that I have done my best to make this is confusing as possible. :-D
