Hi Chris,

my plain Logitech scroll mouse on PS/2 works with the following in
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

--- 8< ------------------------------------------
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
--- 8< ------------------------------------------

The trick here is the 'ZAxisMapping'.

Hth,
