Edit /etc/X11/<whatever your X config file's called>
The relevant section in mine looks like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "6"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 5"
EndSection
You probably want to change the Protocol (check
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.mouse), number of buttons (a wheel has two
directions, therefore counts as two buttons), and "Emulate3Buttons" (since
you have a third physical button, say "no"). No scroll wheel? Remove the
"ZAxisMapping" option.
