Are you loading moused? 
Also, you may want to try changing the relevant lines like so:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "Auto"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
        Option      "Buttons" "5"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection

One last thing I've noticed: Mouse1? are you using more than one
pointing device?
