Try:

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

and make sure moused is running:

moused -z 4 -p /dev/psm0 -t auto

and it should work fine.  You could probably leave out the -z 4 and
"Buttons" "5" stuff, but, if you have a wheel mouse, it makes things
nice.
