You need to select a mouse protocol that supports mouse wheels. The PS/2
protocol does not, the IMPS/2 protocol does. You also need to configure
the ZAxisMapping option. If your mouse has three buttons, the mouse
section should look like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
This is for a PS/2 mouse with a wheel and three buttons. You can edit
the configuration file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 manually, or run
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
