In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, you'll want the following section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
Option "Protocol" "Intellimouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
...which will work for virtually any PS/2 based mouse. Possibly
substituting "Microsoft" for Intellimouse (the IM is a wheel-mouse)
above.
Peace.
