There is a program called imwheel that also can make use of the wheel portion.

Hello Brave and Mighty Men of Linux,
Is anyone working on supporting the Microsoft-specific beasts with the little button in between which does the scrolling in Microsoft-specific attempts to write an OS? I thought it could be made to work like a third button provided the protocol is open and available.
I am not suggesting at all to write the native kernel and XFree support for it (nothing from Microsoft will deserve that, until the day they repent and do what they were created to do - write good GUI applications for Linux), but merely an emulation of standard 2-button PS/2 /dev/psaux.
