I'm using a Logitech Click! optical USB PS/2 mouse via the PS/2 adapter
at the moment. Not FC5 but, maybe some help from the following xorg.conf
section?

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "mouse"
  Identifier   "Mouse[1]"
  Option       "Buttons" "9"
  Option       "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
  Option       "Name" "ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse"
  Option       "Protocol" "explorerps/2"
  Option       "Vendor" "Sysp"
  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
