Im running 4.9 right now, and i have a Logitech Trackman for a mouse. My
current XFree86Config file looks like this with the mouse section

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "Buttons" "5"


This is a older mouse that has 5 buttons including the Wheels two
axis's, it use to work in Linux a few days ago and it works just fine on
a windows machine i plugged it in too. It should be working but im not
sure why it wont. The mouse moves fine but the wheel doesnt. No errors
are reported in the console by X about the wheel. It is running on PS/2
port but it is a USB mouse since this computer does not support usb, and
PS2 works fine in console no issues there.  Thanks for any help you can
offer.
