These are the messages X spits out, as it starts (and runs).

Standard PS/2 connected (wheel) mice usually look like this, in
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Default Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
And is utilized further down by:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Default Keyboard"
InputDevice "Default Mouse"
EndSection
