You have the mouse port correctly specified, perhaps, but what about the
mouse *Protocol*?  If you read the man page for `XF86Config' you'll
see that Protocol has to be set to "MouseSystems".  You may also need
to specify BaudRate with your mouse, but I can't say for sure.  Experiment
with it, and read that man page! :-)
