X.org does not exist very long

Do you mean that it wont exist for long, or that its recent

Sorry, english isn't my mother tongue. However, X.org (the XFree86 fork) is recent. I think the rest of the reply explains that
Thanks.

This is what in the XF86Config file

The try adding

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

below the line

 Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

[puntmuts]

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse1"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
#        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option      "Buttons" "5"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
