Thanks for the reply.  I booted into "single" mode and used
Xorg -configure to generate a new xorg.conf file.  Right now,
it seems to be working.  I now have this in the Mouse section:

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

My mouse is a laptop touchpad.
