    This works fine for my usb mouse:

     Section "InputDevice"
            Identifier "Mouse0"
            Driver "mouse"
            Option "Protocol" "auto"
            Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
            Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
            Option "Buttons" "5"
            Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    EndSection
