I've got the same setup, but no problems. My xorg.conf can be found at:
http://spr.mahonri5.net/files/mm20/xorg.conf

The more relevant parts are:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "Default Layout"
        Screen  0       "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice     "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice     "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
        InputDevice     "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

        Identifier      "Mouse0"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option          "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
        Option          "LeftEdge" "1700"
... options for synaptics ...
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"

EndSection

Section "InputDevice"

        Identifier      "Mouse1"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option          "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

EndSection


Hope this helps out.
