I think you don't need imwheel when using the xserver mouse features. AFAIK, they interfere. I quit using imwheel way back when and have not needed it since. Also, many systems use the wheel automatically which may be the reason it seems to work on other systems.

FWIW, the Belkin mice have worked for me with the IMPS/2 protocol.
