This is a terrible question (see 
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html for what to do next 
time).

We don't know if the mouse works at all, or if just the wheel function doesn't 
work. We don't even know what doesn't work - does the mouse move erratically, 
does the wheel go in the wrong direction, or does the mouse work normally, 
but the middle button/wheel only appears to click, not scroll.

We don't know what sort of mouse you have, and how you have it connected. USB, 
PS/2, serial, ADB? 

We don't know what you have in your X configuration file. Do you have the 
IMPS/2 protocol in use? Do you have a ZAxisMapping?

We don't know which applications you've tried. KDE? Netscape? Some mouse test 
application?

Can you try again, and put some thought into the question. Then someone might 
be able to help you, without wasting your time or or theirs.
