Try:
Section "Pointer"

    Protocol    "mousesystems"
    Device      "/dev/mouse"

I have the same type of mouse and the above works fine. By the way, you
can leave the Artec in 3 button mode even for windows. When I had 3.01
you could set this in one of the windows menus (but it was a while ago
so I don't recall exactly which menu). Now I have WindowsNT on the same
machine as linux. To get the mouse to remain operable in 3 button mode
under NT I had to download a free driver from mousesystems web site.
