Can't get mouse wheel to work to save my life! [Solved]

I cant' get my mouse wheel to work in X, andI've tried just about everything I've seen in the forum. My kernel should be peachy. I'm using a laptop and I think some of my problem might be related to the fact that I also have a built-in mouse. I've tried using a PS/2 mouse and various USB mice. xev responds to everything but spinning the wheel, and using cat on the various devices I've tried in xorg.conf shows me it responding to the wheel by moving the cursor backwards. If someone could point me in the right direction, it'd be *much* appreciated. Here's my xorg.conf file (I've tried pretty much all of the options I've commented out.):

The only thing I see in your x.org conf is the mouse protocol. Try changing it from ps/2 to imps/2. I have a built in touchpad that has scrolling capabilities but haven't got it work on X, but when I plug in my USB mouse I can get that scrolling...

I thought the ZAxisMapping option should have solved your problem. But it appears that the PS2 doesn't support the wheel, but IMPS2 does.

Check this out:

HOWTO Mouse Scrollwheel

It shows you what to change. Let me know if this helps.

I think you guys are looking at the wrong one. I think you're looking at 'Stick-Pad', which is my built-in hardware. It's working great. Take a look at the one below it ('PS2 Mouse'). All the commented lines under that I've tried, including what you suggested. I'll take a look at the link you sent me, but I think it's just going to cover stuff I've already tried. Sorry for not specifying.

I went to the link, and noticed a HowTo for a second mouse at the bottom of the page. This might be my issue. I'll try it and let ya know.
