Thanks but my solution was close but no cigar as it did make the usb
mouse work but disabled the touchpad. Please have a look at the post by
Andrew Farris <lordmorgul at gmail.com> in the same thread. He suggested
the solution that makes both the usb and touchpad work. Based on his
suggestion here's my working config:

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "Default Layout"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
	InputDevice    "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
	InputDevice    "Synaptics" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "USB Mouse"
	Driver      "mouse"
	Option	    "Protocol" "Auto"
	Option	    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
	Option	    "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Synaptics"
	Driver      "synaptics"
	Option	    "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
	Option	    "Protocol" "auto-dev"
	Option	    "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
	Option	    "SHMConfig" "true"
EndSection
