    This is how I have mine set up.... Its not the laser one, but its
    gotta be close.

    Section "InputDevice"
            Identifier "Mouse0"
            Driver "mouse"
            Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
            Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
            Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
            Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
            Option "Buttons" "10"
    EndSection

    You can then use xev to find out which button is witch and then use
    xmodmap -e "pointer=1 2 3 7 8 5 6 9 10"

    Hope this helps... good luck.
