Case on the word "auto"?

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Check the log to see if the Protocol Auto is unknown, or otherwise
throws an error.
