In fact, with 2.6 kernels, all mices are multiplexed into a single device called /dev/input/mice. Thus, you can define a single Mouse in XF86Config pointing to /dev/input/mice instead of having several mouse entries. This works for me and my laptop with a built-in PS/2 touchpas and a USB Wheel Mouse.
