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.
