Strictly speaking your question would be better addressed to RedHat's
"valhalla" list.
Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file to that the "Input Device" section
looks like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
This is what will be produced if you use the RedHat supplied tool
"/usr/sbin/mouseconfig" and selecting an IntelliMouse PS/2.
The Option XAxisMapping is to allow the central wheel to translate its
motion into two "up" and "down" buttons so that you can scroll windows
with it, etc.
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" may be replaced with "/dev/mouse" which is
fine as long as /dev/mouse is a symbolic link to /dev/psaux. (check this
by trying "ls -l /dev/mouse"
