    FWIW, I have a "Dell by Microsoft" IntelliMouse 1.3 wheel mouse on both
    a generic desktop and a Dell Lattitude notebook. The wheel works fine on
    both.

    My /etc/X11/XF86Config under RH9 contains exactly what you posted with
    the exception that the protocol for input device mouse 0 is IMPS/2, i.e.
            Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
