I'm still using 1.3.3, so your mileage may vary.

As someone else guessed, it's because you haven't defined
any higher resolution mode; I use:
ModeLine "800x600" 40.09 800 840 864 991 600 601 603 625 +hsync +vsync

the following works for me:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/mouse"
I remember having the problem you describe when setting it to
use PS/2 protocol.
