If it's an older serial mouse (i.e. squarish connector, rather than a
little round one), you could try protocol "IntelliMouse" to get the
wheel going.  Also as well as ZAxisMapping, you'll probably need to tell
it that it has five buttons, either
	Option "Buttons" "5"
in newer versions of XFree; or
	Buttons 5			<--- from memory, could be wrong
in the older version of XFree that you seem to be using.
