Use the ZAxisMapping and Buttons options.  I use the exact same
mouse, but with X 4.1.0 on a Dell laptop.  Here is the section that
defines my Logitech mouse (it actually works with an MS optional
mouse too):

Section "InputDevice"

    Identifier  "Mouse2"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Device"        "/dev/input/mice"
    Option      "Name"          "AutoDetected"
    Option      "Protocol"      "imps/2"
    Option      "Vendor"        "AutoDetected"
    Option      "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
    Option      "Buttons"       "5"

EndSection

Next, you need to add each InputDevice to the ServerLayout section.
The second mouse needs to be "SendCoreEvents", if you have 2 mice.
Here is what mine looks like:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier  "AGP"
    Screen      "Screen AGP"
    InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Mouse2" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Best Regards,
Keith
