It's the "CorePointer" and "SendCoreEvents" that are significant. One must
be "CorePointer" (iirc one that may not always be available - as it will
get preference), others must "SendCoreEvents".

Here's mine - if your synaptics mouse is set up correctly, you don't want to
be using my version, but the USB mouse should be usable verbatim:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "USB Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

  Option        "CircScrollTrigger"     "2"
  Option        "UseShm"                "true"
EndSection
