What version of linux is it?
When i installed MDK9 i just told it i have a M$ explorer and then it asked me to test the wheel, and it all worked.

How about going into Yast and selecting another mouse type?
I have tried two button wheel mouse on ps2 and it worked fine for my Logitech optical with wheel. If I remember right there is a selection for MS wheelmouse.
