Hi, I'm running kernel 2.4.0-test9 with an nvidia geforce256 running
nvidias 0.95 drivers, and have had no problems (not since phase1 and old
nvidia drivers, at least)

...and yes, also using a wheelmouse (but an USB mouse, that is)
So I assume that it MUST be your installation (or hardware ofcourse).
I can't se your XF86Config file (not attached to this)
have you remembered to compile your kernel with the proper AGP-support?
