Here's a little further info from xorg.conf:

-- First Mouse Section --
Identifier = Configured Mouse
Device = /dev/input/mice
Protocol = ImPS/2
Emulate3Buttons = true
ZAxisMapping = 4 5

-- Second Mouse Section --
Identifier = Synaptics Touchpad
Device = /dev/psaux
Protocol = auto-dev
HorizScrollDelta = 0
