Check it out:
Colas Nahaboo X mouse wheel scroll page:

In a nutshell, get svga (via /etc/vga/libvga.config) to use a
MouseSystems mouse type (yep, that's right) on /dev/gpmdata as the
mouse device, and have gpm run in "repeater" mode (ie, use "-R" when
it starts up).
On a RH box, add this to /etc/sysconfig/mouse - you can also get X to
use it like that two.
I have it working here like that for things like Quake...
