From a plain console login, run 'mouseconfig' as root and select your 
actual mouse rather than the detected generic.

You can also just edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and alter your mouse entry to 
look something like this:

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

It's the 'protocol' and 'zaxismapping' lines that make scrolling work.
