Yes, it is.

Your /etc/X11/XF86config looks fine. What version of XFree86 do you have? If
it is 3.x than you need to install the imwheel package and then run "imwheel
-k" whenever you start X (I think newer versions of imwheel start
automatically with X). If you have version 4.x then you don't need imwheel.
To have wheel scrolling work in Netscape click in the frame you want to
scroll (if the page has multiple frames) and then use the wheel. Make sure
that Num Lock is off.

Your mouse has moved. Windows must be rebooted to acknowledge this change.
