Do you have gpm running? If yes (I don't know why you wouldn't) :
1) in /etc/gpm.conf set
repeat_type=raw
device=/dev/input/mice
type=imps2
(I don't really know about the type, but imps2 is most common and
works for my logitech scroll mouse)
2) in /etc/X11/XF86Config
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Logitech MouseMan Wheel"
Driver "mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Device" "/dev/gpmdata"
# Note: Protocol must match the 'type' set to gpm
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
EndSection
The key is
1) don't let gpm and X fight over /dev/psaux -- that will be erratic,
let gpm get the raw device and then feed it to X via a "fifo"
(aka "named pipe" or "unix domain socket")
2) use the same (correct!) protocol setting in each
