IMHO the driver should not emulate a mousewheel, this should be done by the Xserver. e.g. (for Xfree86) 

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "TouchPoint"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mouse1"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "1"
        Option          "EmulateWheel"          "on"
        Option          "EmulateWheelButton"    "2"
        Option          "XAxisMapping"          "6 7"
        Option          "YAxisMapping"          "4 5" 
EndSection

However, when I tried this I found the scrolling too jerky and missed the third mouse button. --Onion 00:27, 5 Feb 2005 (CET)
