Thanks a lot for your help.

I currently use the following section for the USB mouse:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "USB Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option          "Buttons"               "8"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

I even tried lowercase characters and "IMPS/2" for the protocol, and 5 
buttons instead of 8.

Now an interesting thing. I just used an xorg.conf I got from a friend 2 
days ago, and all mice (trackstick, pad and USB) did work, even the 
scrollwheel. This is the mouse section from his file:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "mouse"
  Identifier   "Mouse[1]"
  Option       "Buttons" "5"
  Option       "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
  Option       "Name" "Logitech Optical Mouse"
  Option       "Protocol" "explorerps/2"
  Option       "Vendor" "Sysp"
  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection


It's rather similar to the above section. IS it possible that our 
problem doesn't reside in the InputDevice section?


The Xorg.0.log is rather long, and I didn't find any lines in it which 
point in the missing wheel buttons. I don't want to mess the list with 
huge attachements (but I could put it on the web and offer a link if 
it's helpful).



Thanks & best regards
