you'll need to add this as well
Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2" or "ExplorerPS/2"

here's my mouse section, I'm using a logitech mx700.

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier  "Mouse0"
         Driver      "mouse"
         Option      "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
         Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
         Option      "Buttons" "7"
         Option      "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection
