I've occasionally encountered an issue with Xorg where fast wheel
scrolling gets reported as being a click of mouse button 6 or 7 rather
than the normal scroll buttons of 4 and 5.  The fix was to add the
following code to the Xorg.conf file:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Note that I haven't needed it since my last computer upgrade, so it may
need adjusting for modern setups, or it may no longer be needed at all.
