For the archives:
I was never able to get it to work with moused + X. I finally solved the
problem by using the following settings in /etc/XF86Config:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "Auto"
Device "/dev/psm0"
Buttons 5
ZAxisMapping 4 5
That combined with the .Xdefaults stuff for xterm and Netscape give me
scrolling for those two apps (actually it's kvt, not xterm, but it works
for xterm too). I haven't tried setting it up for kde itself, and a quick
check of a few KDE apps showed that they aren't recognizing the wheel, but
at least I have a starting place to work from now.
