Stefan Ulrich gave the following advise:

XDvi.wheelTranslations: \
        <Btn4Down>: up(0.015)\n\
        <Btn5Down>: down(0.015)\n\
        <Btn6Down>: left(0.015)\n\
        <Btn7Down>: right(0.015)\n

(adjust the values as needed); then, invoke `xrdb -merge
~/.Xdefaults' and restart xdvi.

You said then this would not help and Stefan replied "with "normal"
hardware and a reasonably up-to-date xserver this should have worked.
He says he'll have not much time to investigate this, though."

Did the situation change meanwhile? No I don't have a wheel mouse, I
can't check.
