I got a logitech optical usbmouse installen and working

cat /dev/usbmouse gives output

But it won't run in X
my x conf is:
Code:

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Mouse0"
   Driver      "mouse"
   Option       "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
   Option       "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
   Option      "ZAxisMapping"   "4 5"
EndSection

Anyone got a idea how to solve this problem?

if you're running devfs, try changing the Device line to "/dev/input/mice".

I have a usb optical and it works fine under X. Did you follow the instructions posted in this forum on how to setup a USB mouse? (Do a search). It's very helpful
