I can't remember if anyone has mentioned xev yet.  On my machine with
the bog-standard M$ Optical Mouse (2-buttons+wheel) when I put the mouse
cursor in the xev window and rotate the wheel, I see button4 events for
scroll up and button5 for scroll down.

If you don't have xev just 'emerge xev' (of course ;).
