Code:

   Identifier	"Mouse1"
    Driver	"mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "Auto"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Here is mine mous section (my mouse is M$ Wheel Mouse Optical USB / PS/2)
Try add the Emulate3Buttons-no line to your config file and see what happens

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

If that doesn't work, what type of mouse do you have? How many buttons (physical)? And does it have a scroll wheel?

Most of the times I've seen people having troubles with their scroller, its often due to a incorrect mouse driver in their xfree config, so make shure you have the right one.

Good luck

Im using a USB packard bell mouse, And im using one of theose laptop pad things. They both work fine exept the scroll on the mouse. Do you reckon I should have two seperate entries for each mouse in my config?

Since you have "mouse1" listed in your config, and scientica has "mouse0" listed, I would say thats a safe bet!

Change your protocol to "IMPS/2".

Do you have the scroll wheel working, too?
