On my setup (fc5) the mouse section in xorg.conf looks like the following:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option "EmulateWheel" "yes"
        Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
        Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
        Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

Note the "XAxisMapping" and "YAxisMapping", which is needed for the
the Trackpoint (at least it was when I last fiddled with it -- but it
still works even after my upgrade from xorg 6.8 to 7.0).
"ZAxisMapping" is needed for the scroll wheel of the external mouse.
