I used "XFree86 -configure" to get my basic XF86Config-4 file. X would 
run with the resulting configuration file, but didn't look too pretty 
and mouse was not fully functional.

I had to had edit XF86Config-4 to set correct mouse protocol, and add 
ZAxisMapping to get mouse wheel to scroll;

add HorizSync, VertRefresh ranges and Option "DPMS" to Section "Monitor".

I also added DefaultDepth to Section "Screen" and
Modes  "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" to SubSection "Display"

Can you post your XF86Config-4?
