I'm also using a USB mouse (but not on a lappy). The only difference is 
that I'm using Protocol "IMPS/2" (not sure if the capitalization of the 
"M" is important) and my device is "/dev/psaux" which is a symlink to 
/dev/misc/psaux. I specifically remember having the problem with 
/dev/input/mice for some reason. I'm sure that that could be different 
between distros but give it a shot.
