Thus spoke Rainer Peter Feller:

it doesn't work on either /dev/input/mice, /dev/input/mouse0, /dev/mouse
or /dev/psaux. it's a ps2 mouse (actually a touchpad on a toshiba
satellite 2410). it has 2 buttons and a wheel, nothing more.
ImPS/2 doesn't work either (plus, it starts to behave rather strange, like
when i click on the scrollbar to scroll down, it jumps back up again
immediately - no idea where that comes from).

i used to work with exactly the same settings earlier (/dev/input/mice,
ImPS/2, ZAxisMapping "4 5") and it always worked, and it works on the
livecd with Xorg 6.7.0 or 6.8.2, it just doesn't work on my installation
now (with 6.8.2). xev doesn't show any events for the wheel at all on my
installation.

So the problem isn't that Xorg couldn't handle the events, they actually
never arrive there. So the Problem could probably be somewhere in the
kernel, but I have no idea where that could be.

PS: The mouse always works, it's just the wheel which is on strike...
