Try editing /etc/X11/XF86Config-4  First, back it up, though.

Look for "mouse".  You'll have a single section somewhat like one of these;
you need to put both in.  One needs to be "CorePointer", the other needs the
"SendCoreEvents" option on.  If you don't have a scroll-wheel you can ignore
the ZAxisMapping line.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection


Somewhere further down in the file, you'll probably have a ServerLayout
section that might look like this:
Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier      "Default Layout"
        Screen          "Default Screen"
        InputDevice     "Generic Keyboard"
        InputDevice     "Configured Mouse"
        InputDevice     "Generic Mouse"
EndSection

For the new mouse you added, make sure that there's a new entry for
"InputDevice" in the "ServerLayout" section like I show above.

You can give your two mice whatever name you want; you just need to make
sure you're consistent in these two locations.
