If I remember correctly, the issue was two-fold. One was the mode had
to be set to "auto", and the other was to make sure that
"/dev/sysmouse" was being used. I think something else was mentioned
about mouse0 or mouse1, not sure. 

Anyway, here's a copy of my mouse settings from /etc/X11/XF86Config:

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).
