In my RH (7.3) it is enabled by default, but I guess what you need is to 
find XF86Config-4, find the section InputDevice for your mouse and make 
sure it contains a line:

Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

I am not sure if

Option      "Buttons" "5"

is also needed (I have both). The the wheel works really nicely in X 
(R30, USB mouse, but it should not make anydifference).
