For the benefit of the archives:

When I bought my logitech mouse for kubuntu, the wheel originally didn't
work. I tried following the instructions at:
[url]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=65471[/url]
and, while they worked, I found that my hotswapping of things like mice,
usb keys, mp3 players etc seemed a bit flakey. Sometimes the mouse
wouldn't come back to life (light underneath was off) until I rebooted.

Anyway, after some tweaking, I found that I didn't need to do half of
the fiddly stuff described in that thread, and now I have the following
mouse section in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "Buttons" "10"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

This is for a Logitech Optical Mouse M/N:M-BT96a which I bought last
month.

HTH :)
