You also want to increase the number of mouse buttons,
basically the wheel is counted as additional mouse buttons.

i.e. in /etc/X11/XF86Config

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Mouse0"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/mouse"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option          "Buttons"               "7"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "no"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection
