At all.... just THIS mouse model has a non-working wheel on X... I suffer on it :-( I've been in contact with XFree people to solve this, but not answer yet. Sorry
Anyway, there is a limited wheel support on X: just emulating a Z axis or mapping Z axis to mouse buttons... People is working in allowing a more usefull approach ( especifically mapping wheel to anything not just buttons )
