Getting Scroll Wheel Working on mouse

[PeaceTank]

I've gotten X all configured using one of the provided scripts but my mouse's scroll wheel doesn't work now. I've added:

Option "ZaxisMapping" "4 5"

to the xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 but it still doesn't want to work. the mouse section of my xorg.conf file reads as follows:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZaxisMapping" "4 5"
# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.

# Option "Resolution" "256"

# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.

# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.

# Option "BaudRate" "9600"
# Option "SampleRate" "150"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

# Option "ChordMiddle"

EndSection

Please Help!

Try changing the Protocol option to "IMPS/2" and your Device to "/dev/input/mice".
