USB-Mouse in 2.4.20 vs. 2.5.66 (no wheel)

[Jens Ansorg]

For years now I have Logitec USB wheel mice running nicely with all last
versions of the Kernel and XFree.

Current Setup is Kernel 2.4.20 and XFree 4.3

Curious as I am I build a development kernel 2.5.66

But with that kernel the scroll wheel on the mouse seems not to work
anymore in XFree/Gnome.

dmesg reports

mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse on isa0060/serio1

looks good.

but both xev and mev report no event when moving the scroll wheel on the
mouse.

should mousewheel work with the dev kernels?
