Here's what worked for me on an old Trackpoint-equiped Toshiba. 
/dev/mouse is symlinked to /dev/psaux in this case.

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier     "XFree86 Configured"
Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice     "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Mouse0"
Driver      "mouse"
Option      "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option      "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
Option      "Emulate3Buttons"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Mouse1"
Driver      "mouse"
Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option      "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
Option          "SendCoreEvents" "1"
EndSection
