6 Ah, I see now. Because you don't have "USB mouse" in your layout.
7 You can have many InputDevice sections, but only those listed in
8 ServerLayout are used:
9
10 Section "ServerLayout"
11 Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
12 Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
13 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
14 InputDevice "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer"
15 # Serial Mouse not detected
16 # USB Mouse not detected
17 EndSection
18
19 Since you only have "PS/2 Mouse" listed, only that InputDevice section is used.
20
21 This should work better for you:
22
23 Section "ServerLayout"
24 Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
25 Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
26 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
27 InputDevice "PS/2 Mouse" "CorePointer"
28 InputDevice "USB Mouse"
29 EndSection
