Sorry I didn't reply earlier, had not noticed your post, but I'm also 
using Etch.  My mouse config section looks like:

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier    "Configured Mouse"
   Driver        "mouse"
   Option        "CorePointer"
   Option        "Device"        "/dev/input/mice"
   Option        "Protocol"        "ExplorerPS/2"
   Option        "Emulate3Buttons"    "true"
EndSection

and scrolling works fine.  I've been reading something about 
"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" on the list to reconfigure x.  I'm not 
sure how much it will help, but you might try something like that 
(search the list for "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" or something like 
that for more info).  HTH.
