I recently switched to X.org without changing any of my configuration.
My mouse section looks like this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "SysMouse"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping"      "4 5"
EndSection

Works fine. I guess you have to change the protocol to SysMouse.

Hope it helps,
