How to enable mouse wheel inertia or "gliding"?

I've been looking through the manpages of xorg for configuration of a USB wireless mouse to make scrolling easier by "gliding" or continuing to scroll depending on the speed you roll the mouse. I haven't seen anything besides emulating a middle rolling button. How do I do this if I actually have a rolling mouse button?

Re: How to enable mouse wheel inertia or "gliding"?

This is the exact page that I looked at before. It says wheel emulation and explains that it is for mouses that have no scroll wheel and that It can be emulated by holding down a mouse button and moving your cursor up and down on the screen as an alternative. At least that's what I got from it. I want to use my scrolling roller though. Maybe you can do it using that, but how would I go about doing that.
