William,

Would both the mouse and keyboard be presenting themselves to the OS as 
pointer devices? If so you might need two InputDevice Sections, one for the 
real mouse, and one for the keyboard mouse. Only one would be the 
CorePointer, but both should work just fine.

Here is an example, you will need to make some modifications for your 
environment:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "mouse"
  Identifier   "Mouse[0]"
  Option       "Device" "/dev/mouse"
  Option       "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
  Option       "Name" "Autodetection"
  Option       "Protocol" "ps/2"
  Option       "Vendor" "Sysp"
  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "mouse"
  Identifier   "Mouse[1]"
  Option       "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
  Option       "InputFashion" "Mouse"
  Option       "Name" "Autodetection"
  Option       "Protocol" "imps/2"
  Option       "Vendor" "Sysp"
  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
...
  InputDevice  "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard"
  InputDevice  "Mouse[0]" "CorePointer"
  InputDevice  "Mouse[1]" "SendCoreEvents"
...
EndSection
