here is what i have in mine, copied from someone else's answer to the same 
question:

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

almost the same but...try it you never know.

i don't have anything special mouse related in rc.conf. try commenting out the 
moused_flags bit.

don't know what ImWheel is so i guess its not really needed.

my mouse works wheely well!
