You still need to tell X that your mouse has a wheel. The FAQ
entry should do the trick.

This is mine, for my logitech wheel marble trackball thing:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver  "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "Auto"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/sysmouse"
    Option "Buttons"    "5"
EndSection

which works fine for 4.1.0. Unless they drastically changed
the way rats are configured in 4.2.0, I would try that first,
and work backwards to see what I didn't need.
