Possible.  But maybe there is also some corruption (binary characters)
in the xorg.conf file.  I've seen xfree86/x.org behave strangely
before, refusing to see some options, because of garbage characters in
the configuration file.

If it isn't too much trouble, yes, do that.  You are also welcome to
send the file to me directly, if you like.

Also, as your device name is "USB Mouse", you should be able to do:

grep "USB Mouse" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
