Thanks a lot for all the mouse help, I got it working.  Sad to say, it
was much easier than I'd guessed.  I wonder why that's not a default
question when setting up the mouse daemon or something along those
lines.  Perhaps I'm spoiled to have all my mouse's with wheels though.

In XFree86-4, using the following in /etc/X11/XF86Config should do the
trick:

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Protocol"     "Auto"
    Option      "Device"       "/dev/sysmouse"
    Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

I'm using a Trekker wheelmouse.  If you've already configured X, you
should 
just add the ZAxisMapping line and change the protocol to Auto and then 
restart X.
