I tried deleted the Driver "evdev" line because evdev had already discovered the
mouse before reading my new .conf file.

Now the last line of Xorg.log is:
[   489.498] (II) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)

I don't know if I've found the truly "correct" way to configure the mouse, but
I'm happier with one warning than with two error messages :)
