My system uses the ATI driver (ati-8.28.8).

Here is the relevant part of my xorg.conf :

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse1"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse2"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "product" "0xc50e"
    Option "vendor" "0x046d"
    Option "HWheelRelativeAxisButtons" "7 6"
EndSection

I tried to reconfigure X with no success. I am not a X expert I am afraid.
I disabled Xgl by setting XGL=no in /etc/sysconfig/xgl

Thanks.
