Is this a wheel mouse?

Remember that the wheely (I won't mention my nickname for it on the list
this time) takes up two buttons, so on a "three" button mouse with wheely,
you've actually got five buttons.

XFree86 <= 3 doesn't recognise more than five buttons, so on wheely mice,
you're done.

XFree86 4 recognises more, but I don't know how many. Anyone?
