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.
