Here is the X4.x section for the mouse:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Mouse0"
        # Modified by mouseconfig
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/mouse"
        Option          "Protocol"              "MouseManPlusPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "no"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

The line "ZAxisMapping" is what enables the mouse wheel.

Good luck!
