Need help REconfiguring a mouse.

I have two mouse questions.

My Logitech cordless ps2 ball mouse died so I went to Best Buy and bought 
a uSoft Cordless Optical USB Intellimouse with two thumb buttons.

I could not for the life of me find out what program is run at 
install-time to figure out what kind of mouse I have. I was able to run 
redhat-configure-mouse which set up gdm correctly. I ended up with 
/etc/sysconfig/mouse set up as:

FULLNAME="Microsoft - IntelliMouse (USB)"
MOUSETYPE="ps/2"
XEMU3="no"
XMOUSETYPE="IMPS/2"
DEVICE=/dev/input/mice

But I couldn't find a program to set up my XF86Config file. Luckily a 
friend was able to google up a recipe for me that worked. I ended up doing 
this (which seems to work so far):

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Microsoft IntelliMouse USB"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Buttons" "7"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

Now I can tell you my two questions.

1. Is there a more correct answer for my XF86Config than what I have?
2. What is the program that I can run that would do this for me in the 
   first place?

Thanks.
