I have the follwing setup:

Driver "mouse"

Option "Buttons" "7"
To map the scrolling to buttons 4,5 you should use xmopmap to modify the
mapping of 6,7 to 4,5:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
This also generates the correct events with xev.
You can set this to startup by adding the line
pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5
to your Xmodmap file (on debian sid it is in /etc/X11 dir).
