Wait a second.  You're mixing sysmouse synaptics support with the xorg driver?  
That will probably not work very well.  My patch should be tested without the 
synaptics xorg driver.

Try this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
