When passing '-a 4' to moused I only declare Options Buttons 5 in XF86Config and the mouse wheel works as expected. This could be a bug in proberly moused. I'm affraid I can't tell you any more than that.

This option currently has some problems on some platforms, but in most cases it is a good way to bootstrap the configuration process. This option is only available when the server is run as root (i.e, with real-uid 0). Hope this helps.

But it is unlikely to work with a protocol actually matching the mouse. moused translates the protocol to mousesys or soome such (I don't remember exactly its name, but auto should work). What do you mean by 'linking /dev/mouse and /dev/sysmouse'?
