Assuming it is a problem with XFree86, you should run

  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

Choose "ImPS/2" as "the entry that best describes your mouse".
Answer "No" to the "Emulate 3 button mouse?" question.
Answer "Yes" to the "Enable scroll events from mouse wheel?" question.
Then run

  dexconf

This will generate the XFree86 configuration file based on the debconf
information (that you just entered via dpkg-reconfigure).
