From your "Device" specification it looks like you're using devfs... is 
that true?

If so, the device you probably want is /dev/misc/psaux (for a PS/2 
mouse).  My devfsd sets up a symlink from /dev/mouse to there, so my X 
configuration file actually has:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier "Mouse0"
  Driver "mouse"
  Option "Protocol" "auto"
  Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection

If you're not using devfs, hopefully someone else can point you to the 
correct setup... :)

HTH,
