I'm able to make this work by adding Chipset "Trio 32/64" to XF86Config. At this point I'm not certain if this is a new X bug in that you didn't need to do this before or a redhat-config-xfree86 bug in that it should be adding this to the config file.
Please try with redhat-config-xfree86-0.7.1-2 in Rawhide. I think that the first traceback you saw is because the /etc/X11/XF86Config file doesn't exist and the mouse cannot be probed. I was seeing this problem on my wife's machine, but I'm not seeing it anymore. I think this is a dupe of bug #80115. Please reopen this bug if the new version doesn't fix the problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 80115 ***
