I have 2 videocards/monitors/keyboards/mice and my mouse section looks like:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Mouse1"
        Driver          "evdev"
        Option          "Device" "/dev/input/event6"
        Option          "Name" "A4Tech USB Optical Mouse"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "6 7 4 5"
        Option          "Buttons"               "12"
EndSection

and the mouse is a 2 wheel optical mouse. Only with evdev can I get 
horizontal scroll to work right with the 2nd wheel. But the vertical 
scroll with the first wheel is a fright. It just barely works.

Except with XP under VMware it works just beautifully, but there I 
cannot use the 2nd wheel.

I'll try upgrading the evdev driver but I don't hold out much hope.
