I'm using the logitech trackball with the thumb marble and scroll wheel,
it works just fine.  You have to edit your XF86Config file (3.3.6 or 4.0
- both work just fine) adding the lines to the 'Pointer' section:

        Buttons         3
        ZAxisMapping    4 5

and make sure to comment out the lines that say:

        emulate3buttons
        emulate3timeout

or anything to that effect.  Make sure that 'protocol' is
MouseManPlusPS/2 and 'device' is /dev/mouse (make sure to follow the
syntax of whichever file you happen to be editing).

Finally, include a copy of imwheelrc in the $user directory of anyone
who cares to use it, and perform chmod a+x /usr/X11R6/bin/imwheel

Everything should work just fine after that.
