I started with the xorg.conf options in the handbook and FAQ. No mousewheel. I searched for hours and finally ended up finding a solution that worked. I don't have the latest xorg nor a usb mouse, but maybe this is worth a try for you (his setup was different from mine). I still used the xorg.conf from the handbook and then followed the instructions from the reply to the following post: Re: A4Tech mouse problem solved (but strangely!)

I haven't checked if this works, but if you could make the changes, verify that it works for you and submit a PR with the patch.
