Same mouse. Works fine, here are my relevant configs.

dmesg:
pmsi0 at pckbc0 (aux slot)
wsmouse0 at pmsi0

/etc/XF86Config:
Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "wsmouse"
    Device      "/dev/wsmouse0"
    ZAxisMapping 4 5

/dev:

That's enough to make xterms scroll. For other apps, you may need a
.Xdefaults entry - like this one for netscape. 

~/.Xdefaults
