When you run xev and spin the scroll wheel you should see a pair of
"press/release" events for every "snap" indent of the wheel:

    ButtonPress event, serial 23, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
        root 0x32, subw 0x0, time 3997240160, (63,100), root:(396,848),
        state 0x0, button 4, same_screen YES

    ButtonRelease event, serial 23, synthetic NO, window 0x1000001,
        root 0x32, subw 0x0, time 3997240160, (63,100), root:(396,848),
        state 0x800, button 4, same_screen YES

Wheel mice need a config of 5 buttons.  A second problem is you can't
have an "emulate3buttons" line -- that feature is just flat out
broken.  Under XFree86 4.0.2 the following XF86Config should do:

    Section "InputDevice"
            Identifier  "Mouse0"
            Driver      "mouse"
            Option      "Protocol" "wsmouse"
            Option      "Device" "/dev/wsmouse"
            Option 	    "Buttons" "5"
            Option	    "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
    EndSection
