Can you use the wheel with other applications?
If not you have to enable it on your X server. Probably you've chosen a
simple PS/2 mouse in your X configuration, so the X server is not
looking for any sort of wheel motion.
You need to choose a mouse driver like ImPS/2, and enable ZAxixMapping;
for example from my /etc/X11/XF86Config file:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Note this might not be right for your mouse, depending on what kind you
have.
Anyway, unless your wheel works for all other apps _except_ for Emacs,
for more info please post to a group or list that's related to Linux,
Red Hat, or XFree86 in particular: this isn't an Emacs issue.
