Are you loading moused?
Also, you may want to try changing the relevant lines like so:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection
One last thing I've noticed: Mouse1? are you using more than one
pointing device?
