Which protocol? Do you use gpm also? If yes, then you don't want both
XFree and gpm to read /dev/sunmouse at the same time, just because it
can't work. In that case, this is what I use:
--- /etc/gpm.conf ---
device=/dev/sunmouse
responsiveness=
repeat_type=sun
type=sun
append="-3"
sample_rate=
--- /etc/gpm.conf ---
--- /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ---
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Protocol" "BusMouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
--- /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ---

What is the behaviour, apart from the log file?

From what I see on your XFree86 log file, it seems that no mouse can be
found. Please check:
- that gpm is really running (that's how I discovered about the missing
space character), because your configuration of XFree relies on the
availability of the /dev/gpmdata device file. Just do a 'ps aux' and
check that the gpm process is still here
- that gpm actually works (move the mouse, try some clicks)
- that the gpm repeater protocol and XFree input protocols are the same
(sun for gpm and BusMouse for XFree are)
I've had no success in trying to use *PS/2 protocols between gpm and
XFree.
Bon courage.
