you don't need a full xorg.conf, simply do:
$> cat > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-buttonmapping.conf <<EOF
Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "custom button mapping"
  MatchIsPointer "on"
  Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" 
EndSection
EOF

And adjust the button mapping as necessary. Restart X and you're good to go.
