try to enable it with your X11 or XORG config file like this:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

the ZAxisMapping should enable the wheel.

remember to restart X before testing it.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if your distribution uses Xorg
/etc/X11/xf86.conf (or similar), if your disrtibution uses XF86
