Are you sure that's the correct protocol and ZAxisMapping?  I had to use 
xev and xmodmap to find out what the scroll wheel (actually ring) did and 
make it the way I wanted.  Of course that's on a desktop with a trackball.  
On my T40, it's

option "device" "/dev/input/mice"
option "protocol" "auto"

and other installation-dependent stuff.  There are two similar sections, 
the second one differing only by

option "buttons" "5"

No ZAxisMapping in either, although the same pad can scroll X and Y 
in XP.  That's from a non-tweaked KDE.
