If you get this going please let me know. I have submitted reports to XFree86 but so far they have all been ignored ! It appears that there are some Logitech mice for which X see no button events at all beyond 1 & 2. I have a variety of Logitech wheel mice. The only one that works with the scroll wheel is one that came with a serial converter. When it is used on the serial port the scroll wheel works just fine, but plug it into the PS/2 port and it becomes a 2 button mouse ! None of the other mice will work with the serial adaptor and they all work just fine under Windows (so the PS/2 port works just fine).
