Hi,
I have to say it took me a while to have the wheel mouse back working when I
switched to XF4.
What I think happened is that I had the correct options in the XF86Config
file, but not in the right order.
For X4 with an Intellimouse, I have:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
