(==) Mouse0: Buttons: 3
(**) Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
(**) Mouse0: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50
(**) Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
(**) Mouse0: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(II) Keyboard "Keyboard0" handled by legacy driver

Not sure unless your update, updated or reconfigured improperly. Try reconfiguring X and see what that turns up, etc.

Easiest way I know of in 7.2 is just to type as root at a console is: Xconfigurator
