I've posted this several times, but I'll do it once more. Try this
setup:

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier  "Mouse0"
 Driver      "mouse"
 Option      "Protocol" "auto"
 Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
 Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Works great for me, hope it helps you. (The ZAxisMapping is to get my
wheel working).
