Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "Emulate3TimeOut" "50"

With the above configuration, firefox and opera show an annoying behavior when scrolling reaches the end of the page.
For firefox, adjust the following (using about:config)
mousewheel.horizscroll.withcontrolkey.action = 3;
mousewheel.horizscroll.withcontrolkey.numlines = 1;
mousewheel.horizscroll.withcontrolkey.sysnumlines = true;
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action = 0;
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines = 1;
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.sysnumlines = true;
mousewheel.horizscroll.withshiftkey.action = 1;
mousewheel.horizscroll.withshiftkey.numlines = 1;
For opera, comment out the following lines in standard_mouse.ini in e.g. /usr/share/opera/ini/ (Debian) or /opt/opera/share/opera/ini/ (Gentoo)
Button6 = Back
Button7 = Forward
