OK, got it working!
For the record, I'm running RedHat 7.1
I added John Karns' changes and things are working nicely.
The only "wart" so far is the need to restart X if the USB
mouse is plugged in after X as started. If the USB mouse is
plugged in as X boots, then the mouse can be disconnecte and
reconnected without having to reboot X.
Changes to /etc/XF86Config-4:
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
.
.
.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
Option "ZAxisMapping" " 4 5"
EndSection

Mouse0 needs to be the /dev/psaux device. At one point, I was using
/dev/mouse, but it was pointing to the USB device. Without the USB
mouse plugged in, the X server couldn't start since CorePointer
device wasn't there.
Thanks all for the help...
