I guess I'm glad that I'm not alone Christoph. Like you, xev shows no activity 
for the wheel.
As far as it's being a hardware related thing, unless 3 mice have died of the 
same dreaded disease, it's not hardware. Of the 3 I've tried 2 are logitech 
trackballs (USB) and the 3rd is a no-name intellimouse (PS/2). I'm at a loss 
here. There is an app called mev that will run without X that, when I run 
from vc/2 shows some action.

On left click press down:
mouse: event 0x14 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 4 modifiers 0x00  
(on release)
mouse: event 0x18 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 4 modifiers 0x00

on right click (press and release):
mouse: event 0x14 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 1 modifiers 0x00  
mouse: event 0x18 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 1 modifiers 0x00

Center button (Depress and release scroll wheel)
mouse: event 0x14 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 2 modifiers 0x00  
mouse: event 0x18 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 2 modifiers 0x00

Scroll wheel up then down:
mouse: event 0x01 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 0 modifiers 0x00  
mouse: event 0x01 at 69,45 (delta 0,0), buttons 0 modifiers 0x00

So, I guess this shows that the scroll wheel is sending a signal. I have no 
idea if it's getting to the right place
