I have a Logitech Mouseman Optical Dual Sensor (highly recommended, BTW)
and it works fine (wheel and all)  My mouse has 6 buttons (has a little
thumb button that I never use) but hopefully my config will help you
sort out yours.

First off, I don't use moused.  Just don't see any need for it.  However,
I think (guessing) that you might do better without the -z option.

Here is the applicable entry in XF86Config:

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
Option "Buttons" "6"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

You may find that your z-axis (i.e. scroll) isn't the same numbers, try
"3 4" maybe.  I had to do a little guesswork to get mine working correctly
at first.
