No, you don't need to find out protocol :-)

Run moused to see how it recognizes the USB mouse:

        moused -i all -p /dev/ums0

It will print some info.  Then start the mouse daemon as:

        moused -p /dev/ums0
        kbdcontrol -m on

The mouse pointer is now available in the text console.  In order to
use the USB mouse in the X session, you tell the X server that the
mouse is at /dev/sysmouse and its protocol type is "Auto"

        Device "/dev/sysmouse"
        Protocol "Auto"

If you decide not to use the mouse daemon and let the X sever directly
read from the USB mouse, you still tell the X server the mouse
protocol type is "Auto".

        Device "/dev/ums0"
        Protocol "Auto"

(If you are using XFree86 3.3.1 or earlier, the protocol type is 
"MouseSystems".)
