if you are starting the mouse daemon before you get to
X then the mouse is at /dev/sysmouse
i found that the best way to set up an IntelliMouse
with X is to say the following:

Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "Auto"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/sysmouse"
    Option "Buttons" "5"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

the above makes the mouse wheel work as well.
