How to enable mouse wheel in arch??
I have a PS/2 mouse with 2 buttons and a mouse wheel used as 3-rd button.

should be as easy as throwing
# Get the wheel working
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
in the mouse section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
for example:
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
# Get the wheel working
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.
# Option "Resolution" "256"
# 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"
# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice
# Option "ChordMiddle"
EndSection

I have a linux faq that covers this and other beginner questions. Sarah, if you see this, it isn't the forum that I was discussing on the mailing list, that was a FreeBSD forum.
(The faq is at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/linfaq.html )
As I said on a mailing list, as one of those simple, everyone should know things, it seems to be one of the hardest things to find.
While ranting, I was discussing with a friend how most people know that in general, though not always SIGHUP will kill and restart a process. However, the only man page I saw that even hints at this was the OpenBSD thing. It's one of those things you pick up along the way.
