Answer for you
 
Open up your XF86Config file, go to the Input Devices section, look for your "Mouse" or "Mouse1" identifier, and under it, add:

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Sorry to everyone else who wanted him to search, but I'm a fellow newbie Slacker and I just fixed it for myself...this is a HUGE forum, and the guy needed an answer, not a lesson in Gophering. Just my 2 cents.

he said he's already done it successfully....

I also had to add the line
Option "Buttons" "5" and change the Option "Protocol" line to "IMPS/2"

I have ZAxisMapping and it still doesn't work...
 
I have got everything setup as usual, but my Logitech optical wheel mouse still doesn't scroll. This is strange, as I haven't had any problem in the past configuring a wheel mouse (even this one, on the same laptop).

Here are the relevant sections of my XF86Config


Code:
# Laptop touch mouse
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier        "Mouse1"
    Driver        "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons"
EndSection

# Logitech USB optical wheel mouse
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "MouseUSB"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Device"        "/dev/input/mice"
    Option      "Protocol"      "imps/2"
    Option        "ZAxisMapping"        "4 5"
    Option        "Buttons"        "5"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier  "Simple Layout"
    InputDevice "MouseUSB" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Mouse1" "AlwaysCore"
    InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Thanks for any help.

It still doesn't work...

try adding

Option "CorePointer" "true"

Under the # Logitech USB optical wheel mouse section

Doesn't work either :(

I figured out that, somehow, the USB mouse is working not through the XF86Config but through something else. I took out the USB mouse from the ServerLayout section and it just works exactly in the same way after restarting X (which means it works fine, but without the wheel mouse...)

Any idea on where is the mouse being configured and how do I turn it off or put it doing wheel scrolling?
