Ah, not true! I have one (lower-end clone, 3 button & wheel) and I have it
working very well under XFree86 3.3.3 (built in support[1]) and with a few
tweaks I've had it running with xterms / rxvts, Netscape 4.08, Nedit, and
a bunch of other programs (stuff that uses athena widgets etc)

Have a look at the 3-button mouse mini-HOWTO, it has a link to a site with
the info needed - it's just a matter of putting it into your .Xdefaults
file.

[1] Normally M$ Windows/Intellimouse allows you to wheel-scroll as long as the
window has the focus. However under Linux (tested today with various apps like
GIMP, WMPrefs and wxftp) the mouse cursor needs to be on the scrollbar before
it will work. The hacks I mentioned allow it to work the former way.
