Here is what I have in my XF86Config-4 (an adb mouse on a 7300):

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Protocol"              "IMPS/2"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/mouse"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

/dev/mouse is a symlink to /dev/input/mice.

This should be correct if you're using the new input layer (probably the
case).  I have no idea how the emulate 3 buttons works.  I see I have it
enabled, but I actually have a 4 button turbomouse, so there's no need to
emulate them.

In case you're wondering, it's IMPS/2 because the new input layer emulates
that protocol.
