FIXED!
Sorry everybody! The link I sent had the answer to all my problems.
On Debian the XF86Config-4 should be:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Logitech MX510"
        Option "CorePointer"
        Driver "mouse"
        Option "Dev Name" "Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"
        Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
        Option "Protocol" "evdev"
        Option "Buttons" "10"
        Option "ZAxisMapping" "9 10"
        Option "Resolution" "800"
EndSection

note that there's no "Dev Phys" Option.
And you also have to compile the evdev module on the kernel. Then do:
# echo "evdev" >> /etc/modules

the problem was, this is obligatory:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 8 9 10 4 5"

Guess that is it. Sorry again... perhaps this will help someone in the
future!...
