logitech mouseman wheel scroll?

i've got a logitech mouseman wheel and i just can't figure out how to get the 
scroll to work.  setting up XF86Config to see it as a plain two-button ps2 
mouse seems to work, but only as a two-button mouse.  the scroll doesn't work 
and pressing either the thumb button or the scroller acts as a middle-button 
function.

so after reading README.mouse, i did this to my XF86Config file:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
        Option      "Buttons" "6"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "5 6"
EndSection

so now the "paste" function doesn't work on any button! and i still have no 
scroll.  [sigh.... so tired]

ideally, i'd like to make it so that the scroll scrolls, and the thumb button 
can be mapped to something or at least act as "paste".  does kde have some 
special magic going on that isn't covered in XF86Config?  i was surfing and 
found a few pages refering to something call IM[something] that was a 
separate program that let the scroll work in kde...  but that was in 
reference to kde 1.1...  not exactly current.

i've been working on this for about a day now and have produced nothing except 
a now moderate understanding of the XF86Config file...  any help would be 
really great.

thanks
