You need the synaptics driver (is it already in the distro?) and a good
configuration.

I currently have:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "UpDownScrolling" "yes"
        Option      "EmulateMidButtonTime" "500"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
        Option      "SHMConfig" "no"
        Option      "BLCornerButton" "2"
EndSection
