Someone was kind enough to send me the attached patch. With
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
it works with moused. I tried protocol sysmouse, but it didn't work.
Neither did Christian's advice about the mousesystems protocol. I also
have a wheeled mouse, logitech specifically.
It would be nice to include this patch in our X4 port.
