Does that mean that your ps/2 wheel mouse doesn't work?

Try "ImPS/2" as the protocol in your X11 configuration.  That's safe
with normal mouses, too, and should work for most wheel mouses.

ps: Don't forget the following line:

        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"

Both (protocol and zaxismapping) are in `Section "InputDevice"'.
