You've got two protocol lines there, mine only has the one:

	Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"

and the "Device" line reads "/dev/mouse" not "/dev/psmouse" but this 
could be distro dependant.... In fact, here is my whole 'mouse' section:

Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons"
    Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"

EndSection


I don't know why the emulate 3 buttons part is there but I'm of the 
opinion that `if it ain't broke don't fix it'.

You don't have gpm running as well do you? GPM and the X mouse stuff 
don't work well together. Try (as root):

# killall gpm

If you mouse starts behaving afterwards then that was your problem, 
remove gpm from your init scripts - you won't have a mouse at the 
command line but it can be started `by hand' if needed.
