I do have two InputDevice sections in xorg.conf about the mouse, but my
ServerLayout only mentions one.  I attach both my log and xorg.conf

If you are using evdev (and you are) you should delete (or comment out)
anything to do with Input from your xorg.conf, e.g. these sections:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Keyboard0"
    Driver         "kbd"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

and also remove/comment these lines from ServerLayout:
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

The evdev driver is intended to replace *all* of that stuff.

BTW, I remember having a section like this in my xorg.conf, but
I don't have it any longer and I don't think you really need it:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Logitech MX1000"
    Driver         "evdev"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
EndSection

I think that the evdev driver is loaded by default now, so you
don't need to mention it in xorg.conf.

Caveat:  I needed to add /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-logitech.fdi
to replace two lines in my xorg.conf because my mouse has four
buttons and no wheel.  You obviously don't have that problem, so
I think your mouse should Just Work without any extra fdi files.
