The wheel isn't detected on my Linux installation (OpenSUSE 10.1). :(

At a guess, I'd say SuSE picked the wrong ZAxisMapping and or Protocol for your mouse. Still guessing, I'd say that SuSE configured the mouse section in your xorg.conf file to look something like this:

Code: Select all

Section \"InputDevice\"
    Identifier  \"Mouse0\"
    Driver      \"mouse\"
    Option      \"Protocol\"     \"ImPS/2\"
    Option      \"Device\"       \"/dev/mouse\"
    Option      \"ZAxisMapping\" \"4 5\"
EndSection
when in actual fact you need something more along the lines of:

Code: Select all

Section \"InputDevice\"
   Identifier  \"Mouse0\"
   Driver      \"mouse\"
   Option      \"Protocol\"     \"ExplorerPS/2\"
   Option      \"Device\"       \"/dev/input/mice\"
   Option      \"Buttons\"      \"7\"
   Option      \"ZAxisMapping\" \"6 7\"
EndSection
