Thank you1 I've tried this and nothing changes. I get the impression 
that the events are not being picked up at the /dev/psm0 level.

After trying this, I changed my xorg.conf file and replaced 
/dev/sysmouse by /dev/psm0 (bypassing moused completely). X worked but 
the wheel didn't.

If I find the time, I'll look at the psm driver myself. It looks as 
though it takes some special actions with A4Tech mice and the solution 
might be to force it to regard them as generic PS/2 mice...
