Well, you may end up doing a little more basic education than you 
bargained for, here, but now I'm confused about touchpad vs. scrollwheel.

My understanding is that touchpads report X and Y axis motion, 
emulating mouse ball movement. Hmm. Guess I haven't really thought 
about how to emulate a scrollwheel with a touchpad.

Rather than derail you into giving tutorials, here's a link with a lot 
of mouse information that may help:

Good luck,
