I have a compaq mouse that is not USB with two scrolling wheel at the top, but they are being useless since I came to arch. My xorg.conf looks like the following
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
*****************************************************************
I added this two lines from google search but still does not solve it
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Can anybody help please?

try this
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
I'm not an expert on X, but AFAIK you need to specify a Scroll compatible mouse in Protocol, in this case ImPS/2 which means Intellimouse PS/2 (or compatible scroll mouse). Since the port you use is PS2, set the Device to /dev/psaux.

Yeah, ImPS/2 is for scrollable mice (I think mine's set to "Auto")
Also, I wouldn't advise using /dev/psaux - udex is smart enough to know that's a mouse and create /dev/input/mouse0 and /dev/input/mice devices. The cool thing about /dev/input/mice is that it's basically a "cat" of all mouseX devices....
If I had 3 USB mice and one PS/2 mouse plugged in, and had /dev/input/mice in my xorg.conf, you can move any mouse and it does the same thing.
This is important for laptops, where you may use a usb mouse and the laptop's mouse (although synaptic touchpads are different if you want to use the synaptic driver)

since kernel 2.6 , as Phrak says, all mice go via /dev/input/mice anyway
mine for what its worth. (in xorg.conf)
===============
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZaxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
===============

If you know it works in Knoppix or another distro that may have a LiveCD, boot that up and have a look whats in the xorg/conf/XF86Config and copy it over
