Here's the pertinent sections from my XF86Config-4 file:

# Touchpad
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
EndSection

# USB Mouse
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "External Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "AlwaysCore"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "IMPS/2"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

...

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "Default Layout"
        Screen          "Default Screen"
        InputDevice     "Generic Keyboard"
        InputDevice     "Configured Mouse"
        InputDevice     "External Mouse"
EndSection

Works like a charm for me. 

Have fun!
