What happens if, instead of that line, you put the appropriate lines
in your xorg.conf? The only reason I ask is that I spot the '4' and '5'
in your thingie - (BTW, I haven't looked up xmodmap yet, because I
haven't had to), which immediately pops up "ZAxisMapping" in my mind,
and you did mention 'wheel' - the math really isn't that hard.

Good Luck!
