I am sorry it didn't work. 
I have been using PS/2 for mouse and keyboard since I got my first
ATX-board. I tried a USB-mouse once, under Linux, and it didn't work, so
I never tried again... ;-/ If it has to do with the mouse being a
USB-mouse, I'm out of my element. =(

But wait, does moused work? If not, is it giving any error messages?
If moused does not work - or doesn't work with the mousewheel, anyway -
X.org won't support the mousewheel, either.
You can also try to configure moused via /sbin/sysinstall.
