I found the same with my Logitech MX500 - I had to add "Emulate3Buttons"
"false" whereas as best as I can remember it seemed that everything I
was reading at the time was telling me I only needed to set it to true
if I wanted to enable that option. Curious.
At the time this configuration was done I was probably running 5.3 and X
might still have been XFree86. The same config is working now with 5.4
and Xorg.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "8 9"
# Had to put this in because default is true!?!?
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "False"
Option "Buttons" "9"

The ["ZAxisMapping" "8" "9"], ["Buttons" "9"] and [moused_flags="-z 8"]
entries allow me to use both the scroll-wheel *and* the two buttons
adjacent to the scroll-wheel to scroll - I quite like being able to just
hold down either of those two buttons to scroll through long documents,
as it's much less finger-strain than lots of wheeling, and often more
convenient than mousing the cursor into the scroll bars which tend to be
quite narrow on my high-res display.

ums0: Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, rev 2.00/18.00, addr 2, iclass 3/1
ums0: 7 buttons and Z dir.
I don't understand why it describes it as 7 buttons. There are the
'left' and 'right' buttons, two thumb buttons, two adjacent to the
mouse-wheel, plus another button on top behind the wheel, so that's 7
buttons. But then there's the wheel button itself which is the "third"
or "middle" button, so surely there are 8 buttons on this mouse, plus
the "Z dir" of the wheel. Curious.
