Does the tilt scrolling work correctly without remapping buttons 6 and 7?

Most likely this is because X is adding devices from HAL and skipping
the settings in xorg.conf. The way to solve this is to put your input
configuration in an fdi file and comment out the settings in
xorg.conf. Create a file like
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/logitech-receiver.fdi that maps the options to the
HAL-style input.x11_options.$name format.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
      <match key="info.product" contains="Logitech USB Receiver">
        <merge key="input.x11_options.ButtonMapping" type="string">1 0
3 4 5 7 6 2 2</merge>
      </match>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>
