Did you rename "xorg.conf.new" to "xorg.conf" ?

Look around in that file, the lines about the mose are:
(from my file)

-------------------------
Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" <= also try "PS2" or "USB"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" <= this enables scrollwheel.

----------------------------

Take a look in yor file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/html/mouse.4.html

For automatic config, try:

xorgcfg
xorgconfig
xorgsetup
