put this into /etc/modutils/usbmouse :
alias char-major-13 hid
below hid mousedev

then run update-modules.
Make sure you have the usb and mouse drivers compiled  (as modules).
Create the device file for the mouse:
mknod /dev/usbmouse2 c 13 32

Have something like this in your XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "USBMouse"
    Driver  "mouse"
    Option  "Protocol"       "IMPS/2"
    Option  "Device"         "/dev/usbmouse"
    Option  "ZAxisMapping"    "4 5"
    Option  "Emulate3Buttons" "off"
#    Option "Emulate3Timeout"    "50"
EndSection

The "ServerLayout" section should have your mouse defined:
   InputDevice  "USBMouse" "CorePointer"

good luck.
