The default install should look like this for usb or adb mice:
[stew@powerbook stew]$ ls -l /dev/mouse
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Oct 26 08:25 /dev/mouse -> usbmouse
[stew@powerbook stew]$ ls -l /dev/usbmouse
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Oct 26 08:25 /dev/usbmouse -> input/mice

Sounds like the modeline isn't valid then. There are already several
1024x768 modelines in the file ( I count 4 here), plus the X server in in
many case capable of working this out itself, you just add a resolution
entry:
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
