First of all, to find out exactly which config file is being used, look
at your XFree86.0.log. In mine it is on line 13:
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4"
There is a whole sequence of places it looks for the config file (see
man XF86Config).
I have RedHat 7.2 and a PS/2 wheel mouse. It works fine for me with the
following in my config file:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
I'd say forget "mouseconfig". Just edit your config file as above.
