If you want to actually use the wheel for something, you can insert this
line in the pointer section:
ZAxisMapping 4 5
This will map the wheel-up and wheel-down events to X button 4 and
button 5. At this point, you can play around with .Xdefaults to let
these buttons actually do something. Unfortunately, this will be on a
per-application basis.
IE:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2" # for ps/2 mouse
Protocol "intellimouse" # for serial wheel mouse
Device "/dev/psaux"
Buttons 5
ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
note:
I use /dev/psaux with a ps/2 mouse but in my pointer section I use
intellimouse vice IMPS/2

Hmm...does that let you do things like use the wheel to
scroll??? If so, I'm going to have to reconfigure my mouse
as soon as I get home. :-)
