Have you set your protocol to "IntelliMouse"?  If so, this is the wrong
setting for PS/2 connectors - you need "IMPS/2".

I use the following in /etc/X11/XF86Config for a Logitech TrackMan Marble+

 Section "Pointer"
     Protocol    "IMPS/2"
     Device      "/dev/psaux"
     ZAxisMapping 4 5
 EndSection
