Ahh, this makes sense.

Shouldn't that be GII_INPUT? Well, I tried GII_INPUT (and just now
noticed it was different in the mail) and it works, but no scroll
wheel yet.

Cool. This is sure to help people out. I think that a note to check
the lnxusb section should be added to the imps2 section because that's
where I would/did look first for my mouse.
Is there a way to globally specify the default input method
(linux-evdev or linux-mouse) other than with environment variables?
Perhaps in the libgii.conf file?
