See:

It should look like this:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Configured Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "CorePointer"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "Protocol" "Auto"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 6 7"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection

See:
http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/mouse.4.html

If "Auto" doesn't work, then try "ExplorerPS/2" protocol or one of the
other listed:

<quote>
Option "Protocol" "string"
    Specify the mouse protocol. Valid protocol types include:

    Auto, Microsoft, MouseSystems, MMSeries, Logitech, MouseMan,
MMHitTab, GlidePoint, IntelliMouse, ThinkingMouse, ValuMouseScroll,
AceCad, PS/2, ImPS/2, ExplorerPS/2, ThinkingMousePS/2, MouseManPlusPS/2,
GlidePointPS/2, NetMousePS/2, NetScrollPS/2, BusMouse, SysMouse,
WSMouse, USB, VUID, Xqueue.

    Not all protocols are supported on all platforms. The "Auto"
platform specifies that protocol auto-detection should be attempted.
There is no default protocol setting, and specifying this option is
mandatory.
