as somebody already mentioned before me, only one type of logitech-mice works well for sure: the boxed version. the oem version has a zilog-chip, which is (was(?)) not supported. the so-called "bulk"-version might work or not. newer versions seem not to work (they have the zilog-chip also). there is a reference to a nice page about wheel-mice in the 3-button-mouse mini-howto. the url is http://www.inria.fr/koala/colas/mouse-wheel-scroll/ however - X has (had(?)) the problem with the zilog chips, too. but possibly this has been fixed. -- Hi!
