That line should have been in xorg.conf ;-)
Have you read

My mouse and my touchpah (HP Pavilion dv5078ea) work well.
Perhaps you should look again at your xorg.conf.
In my xorg.conf there are two "InputDevice" sections:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse1"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
   Driver       "synaptics"
   Identifier   "TouchPad"
   Option       "Device"        "/dev/input/mouse0"
   Option       "Protocol"      "auto-dev"
   Option       "LeftEdge"      "1700"
   Option       "RightEdge"     "5300"
   Option       "TopEdge"       "1700"
   Option       "BottomEdge"    "4200"
   Option       "FingerLow"     "25"
   Option       "FingerHigh"    "30"
   Option       "MaxTapTime"    "180"
   Option       "MaxTapMove"    "220"
   Option       "VertScrollDelta" "100"
   Option       "MinSpeed"        "0.09"
   Option       "MaxSpeed"        "0.18"
   Option       "AccelFactor"     "0.0015"
   Option       "SHMConfig"       "on"
EndSection

In the second section, your Option "Device" should be:
   Option       "Device"        "/dev/input/mouse1"
because of your /proc/bus/input/devices.

Ciao
Sergio
