Try this:

    Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
    Option "Buttons" "7"

then, in your .xinitrc (assuming you start X from runlevel 3)

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 7 6 4 5"

This was how I managed to get all of the buttons working on my
Intellimouse, maybe it will enable the wheel in yours?

One thing I can tell you for sure, you are not alone:
