How do I get my 3-wheel mouse working?

Unbelieveable, but I already forgot what I did to get my wheel mouse working.
Now, I installed 12.2 this morning and can't figure out what I did to get it working!
Here is the Xorg.config-

Code:

# Core Pointer's InputDevice section

# **********************************************************************



Section "InputDevice"



# Identifier and driver



    Identifier        "Mouse1"

    Driver        "mouse"



# On platforms where PnP mouse detection is supported the following

# protocol setting can be used when using a newer PnP mouse:



    Option    "Protocol"      "Auto"



# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:

#    Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2

#    Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2

#    MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse

#    ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue

    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"



# The mouse device.  The device is normally set to /dev/mouse,

# which is usually a symbolic link to the real device.



    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"

#  Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"

#  Option "Device"      "dev/ttyS0"

#  Option "Device"      "dev/ttyS1



# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment

# the following line.



#    Option "Protocol"        "Xqueue"



# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In

# almost every case these lines should be omitted.



#    Option "BaudRate"                "9600"

#    Option "SampleRate"        "150"



# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice

# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)



#    Option "Emulate3Buttons"

#    Option "Emulate3Timeout"    "50"



# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice



#    Option "ChordMiddle"



EndSection

Thanks

I'm sorry-bad post!
Forgot I had to restart X!
Anyway here's what I changed-wheel works now so does this look right?

Thanks again!

Could it be this one? ;-)

Code:

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

If it works, it doesn't matter if it looks right. :)

Yeah, the ZAxisMapping is how you do it...

....stuff....I'm so out of date these days....I'm only just managing to use a two button plus wheel mouse and you guys are working on three wheel mice....where do I go for an upgrade to get extra fingers or more dexterity?
