It should be simple, it's configured in /etc/X11/XF86Config.....
man fbdev
But i'm not sure that that is what you want.

If tuxracer is working OK, then you have a libGL that talks to the X11
GL module loaded when X starts up. Problems occur when other programs
either don't know which shared object file to load at run time (libGL),
or use an "extension", such as GLUT, and can't find that.
Your /etc/ld.so.conf configures shared libraries, search orders etc etc.

It's a combination of
/etc/X11/XF86Config ....
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
.... set up correctly for your mouse
and applications that understand what a mouse scroll is.
