The other option you'll need is

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"


This is the mouse section from my XF86Config-4


Section "InputDevice"

   Identifier "Mouse1"
   Driver      "mouse"
   Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
   Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"
   Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

#    Option "ChordMiddle"

EndSection
