I have a wheel mouse, but I can't get the wheel to work under Linux. Currently its just a middle-click with no scroll capabilities :(. I need the scrolling ability for browsing, and Q3A...
Its a Logitech PS/2 mouse...
I have no idea what files to edit in order to make it work like it should. I'm on Slackware 8, if that helps.

I have a logitech mouseman optical and I never got the wheel to work when I set it up as such. Instead, I got it to work by setting it up as a Microsoft Intellimouse.
You probably already know, but make sure your Z axis is set up correctly too.
Good Luck

What type of Logitech is it exactly? I have a MouseMan Plus (the one with the wheel/button, and a thumb button), and just got it working with no problem. In your XF86Config, edit these lines in the mouse section:
Protocol "MouseManPlusPS/2"
Buttons "5"
ZAxisMapping "4 5"
This worked for me. The only thing not working so far is the thumb button...
