I think you don't need imwheel in KDE 2.. I don't have it running anymore
(after upgrading to KDE 2 Beta 4). I am not so sure about KDE 1.1.2
The changes in Xconfig are necessary coz u are changing a hardware device..

XFree86 3.3.x:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol"IMPS/2"
evice "/dev/psaux"

# Emulate3Buttons
# Emulate3Timeout50
# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
