I have Logitech's usb Mouseman Wheel but in linux it works like a generic two button usb mouse. The wheel, which also acts like a third button, doesn't work at all. I found a lot of suggestions in this forum but nothing worked for me. The XF86Config-4 file is like:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
# Option "EmulateWheel"
# Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
EndSection

I disabled the Emulatexxx options. Any help please?

My mouse config: (Logitech MX700 wireless)
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
All the buttons and wheel work- I can scroll with the wheel

From hard candy's suggestion, try adding the Buttons option.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "3"
# Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
# Option "EmulateWheel"
# Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
EndSection

Try '3' and then '5'.

Ok thank you guys. I added

Option "Buttons" "5"

and everything works fine. Even the side button works as double click. :)
