Hi Mike,

    Check your InputDevice section for the mouse.  Make sure it has a 
ZAxisMapping.
The one from my xorg.conf (formerly XF86Config I think) looks like:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection


The importnat piece is the Option "ZaxisMapping... " section.  Try 
adding that to the
config file...  Make sure you have a backup copy before trying this!!!
