Code:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "PS/2 Mouse"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option      "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
    Option      "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
    Option      "SendCoreEvents"  "true"
EndSection
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Add a similar line like this to that section in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or
/etc/X11/XF86Config, whichever is newer.

What mouse is it? How many buttons including wheel button?
