Hi Doug, I also have a PS/2 optical mouse and it works great on my laptop, here's my complete xorg.conf file http://linux.mty.itesm.mx/~oestrada/data/files/xorg.conf
The differences between your mouse section and mine is that I don't use the Emulate3Buttons option and I use /dev/psaux as Device. As a last option, you could also use a different mousepad, because some optical mice dont work with some mousepads. See ya!
