Eh? Well, if you don't have an easily-accessible button 2 on this
trackball, I suppose that'd work.

You're missing the line
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
...which is required to map buttons 4 and 5 to the Z axis so that you
can scroll using the wheel or whatever.

Sure, set up an InputDevice section for it including the ZAxisMapping
line and it should work.
