It works this way by default in mozilla. You'll be able find online how to make it work with other things like emacs and netscape...for example, to get it working in emacs, edit your ~/.emacs file and add these lines:
<snip> ;; wheel mouse stuff (defun up-slightly () (interactive) (scroll-up 5)) (defun down-slightly () (interactive) (scroll-down 5)) (global-set-key [mouse-4] 'down-slightly) (global-set-key [mouse-5] 'up-slightly) (defun up-one () (interactive) (scroll-up 1)) (defun down-one () (interactive) (scroll-down 1)) (global-set-key [S-mouse-4] 'down-one) (global-set-key [S-mouse-5] 'up-one) (defun up-a-lot () (interactive) (scroll-up)) (defun down-a-lot () (interactive) (scroll-down)) (global-set-key [C-mouse-4] 'down-a-lot) (global-set-key [C-mouse-5] 'up-a-lot) </snip> I don't remember having to recompile the kernel or anything.
