didn't help, I still see (without X running):

8, 0, 0 any button down
9, 0, 0 left button up
12, 0, 0 wheel up, sidebutton up
10, 0, 0 right button up

8, 0, 0 wheel rotation (any direction)

except of some protocols (IIRC ps2pp, bare, genps) ignore wheel
completely. is there any way to verify which protocol the mouse is
using? modprobe -v printed different messages for each protocol so I
think that worked (it said Generic Explorer etc.)

I tried: exps, imps, ps2pp, bare, genps

any ideas?

the mouse says: Cordless MouseMan Wheel (Logitech), it has left/right
buttonss, wheel that can be pushed or rotated and a side button, not
sure how to better identify it. With 2.4 kernels it used to work with X
using protocol MouseManPlusPS/2.
