Nothing obviously wrong with that (it's the same as mine!) but I don't 
know what the correct protocol for your mouse is. A couple of suggestions:

1. I believe you said that Knoppix worked on that PC? Boot it up and 
have a look at the same file under Knoppix. It may not be the same but 
it may give some clues.

2. Try changing the protocol to Auto - not sure if this works under 
Ubuntu but it does with some distros. Other values you could try (not 
sure if this makes sense for Ubuntu - it's taken from the comments in 
another distro's XF86Config-4 file):

# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:
#    Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
#    Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2
#    MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse
#    ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue
#    Option "Protocol"    "Microsoft"
