Don't use *any* of this. You have a 3 button mouse, so why emulate 3
buttons? And don't screw with samplerate, baud etc. Let X take care of
this. Also, add ZAxisMapping 4 5 to enable scrolling up/down.
Here's my mouse section:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/mouse"
Resolution 100
Buttons 3
ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
