The default XFree86 config file written by the fedora installer
configures it for both those input types.. And that the
gnome-control-center applet configures the Mouse0 entry (CorePointer),
which is the old style /dev/psaux one.. So judging by your input the
config file written the actual bug is that the xfree86 default config
file should not include both mouse types, but only the /dev/input/mice
one.. (Which ofcource opens up a whole can of worms about ppl running an
old 2.4.x kernel w/ FC2..)

2) I have a wireless optical mouse thingy, which only works on USB. I
noticed that the default movement speed of a mouse in X is quite slow,
so i went to the gnome-control-center to speed things up a bit.. To my
supprise i could slide sliders to my hearts content, but with no visible
changes.. It turns out the default XF86Config is configured for 2 mouse
inputs (old style psaux mice, and usb mice).. And gnome-control-center's
mouse applet only changed the settings for the core mouse.. Resolution
was to remove the "Mouse0" device input section, rename the device id
for DevInputMice to Mouse0, and remove the DevInputMice reference in the
ServerLayout section... After this the mouse configuration set the mouse
speed for my usb mouse nicely again
The input subsystem of 2.6 kernels is very different from 2.4. 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.
