Has anyone actually come up with something useful to do with the roller wheel on Logitech's MouseMan+ ? I have moused recognizing it and mapping the roller to buttons 5/6, but I am at a loss to figure out how to make that do something useful like scroll a web page under X. There doesn't seem to be anything in -questions, -hardware or -hackers on this for the past while, and the XFree86 site concedes that while the X server will recognize the mouse clicks, it's up to the application to interpret them. I'm using Windowmaker, but it's prefs application only allow you to choose behaviour for three of the buttons. I would presume that if you wanted to map button 5/6 to the "up arrow/down arrow" combination to achieve scrolling in Netscape, as Netscape itself doesn't seem to have any options to take advantage of the wheel.
