Do you have the PS/2 adaptor?
Try putting the adaptor on it for PS/2, makes this easier for now.
Then for "dev entry" for your mouse enter: /dev/psaux

My /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
....
Section "InputDevice"
Indentifier 	"Mouse0"
Driver		"mouse"
Option		"Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option		"Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option		"Buttons" "7"
Option		"ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection
....

My /etc/X11/Xsession I added:
....
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
....

The above stuff got my wheel working in X.
