No, as far as I know. But you can use xinput to modify it on runtime (though
it's harder to make it just work this way when you plug in/connect your
mouse). If it is your "personal" preference, you should set it up in your X
session,
not a global X configuration... xorg.conf and other are global configuration
for all users. X server starts up before you log in to your session, so it
would not
know which user's config to load.
