You still need to tell X that your mouse has a wheel. The FAQ
entry should do the trick.
This is mine, for my logitech wheel marble trackball thing:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
which works fine for 4.1.0. Unless they drastically changed
the way rats are configured in 4.2.0, I would try that first,
and work backwards to see what I didn't need.
