The obvious question. Did you add the line
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
to /etc/X11/XF86Config?

But I have the following XF86Config files:
# locate XF86Config
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.98
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config.eg
/usr/X11R6/man/man5/XF86Config.5x

You should have a file in /etc/X11 called something like XF86Config. Perhaps it's called /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or something like that, depending (I think) on what tool you use to configure X. (I could be wrong about that, it might just vary from distro to distro).
If you're using X.org instead of Xfree86 4.4 it might be called something else, but should be similar.
In there, find the lines referring to your mouse--it's probably around line 226 or so. You probably have /dev/psaux or something similar.
Under that, add the line I mentioned above, about the ZAxisMapping.

It sounds I don't have the file under /etc/X11: i am using xf8611
bash-2.05b$ ls -A /etc/X11/
app-defaults fr lbxproxy sessions xdm xserver
de fs proxymngr twm xinit xsm
de_DE.UTF-8 it rstart xawtvrc xkb

Try running /usr/X11R6/bin/xf86conf to setup the file.

I've add the line in XF86Config file but the wheel still doesn't work, (i can use it as middle key).
In XF86Config,
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.
# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"
# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.
# Option "BaudRate" "9600"
# Option "SampleRate" "150"
# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
# Option "ChordMiddle"
EndSection

the: Option "Protocol" "Auto"
should be: Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
if you have a ps/2 mouse
the: Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
should be: Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"

thanks all, two modification in the XF86Config file make the wheel work:
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/usbmouse"
Maybe the key is the first one.
