What you want is Paul Mackerras's 2.2.x kernels with the new USB-stack backported. rsync -azv samba.anu.edu.au::linux-pmac-stable /usr/src/linux This makes my Logitech wheel mouse work nice, but YMMV. > kernel's usb stack.

You have to use mousetype IMPS/2 in X with newer USB stacks. With imwheel and a ZAxisMapping 4 5 line in my XF86Config, this also makes the wheel work nicely.
