Hi Friends,

i already searched forums and edited xorg.conf many times.

Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Button" "5"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option      "Name" "Microsoft BOM"
    Option      "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option      "Vendor"   "Sysp"
    Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5

Try the following

Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Button" "5"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
    Option      "Name" "Microsoft BOM"
    Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option      "Vendor"   "Sysp"
    Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

or if you use the 2.6 kernels do

Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Button" "5"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option      "Name" "Microsoft BOM"
    Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option      "Vendor"   "Sysp"
    Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Seems like your code is missing a closing quotation mark in the ZAxisMapping section.
