you have to set gpm and x to use imps/2 protocol, and install imwheel (I know it's in
potato, dunno about slink).  imwheel needs to be started before x, I put it in my
.xsession file just before the exec (windowmanager) line.

if it's a USB mouse, you'll probably have to move to a 2.3.x kernel, I had to, imps/2
wouldn't work for me with 2.2.x USB.
