Compatible, but Unsupported Mice 

The following mice are compatible to Red Hat Linux but may require
"tweaking" to use.
. The Microsoft IntelliMouse (the one with a blue ``scroll-wheel''
  between the two buttons) is compatible with XFree86-3.3; use of the
  scroll-wheel can be enabled using the `Translations' resource
  available in some X11 applications. Red Hat does not offer support
  for configuring the IntelliMouse.

If you run xf86config, it should get you to where you set up the mouse
-- choose auto, and if it doesn't detect it as an IntelliMouse, it
should give you the chance to choose it from a list.

I don't have one myself, so you'll have to tool around with it a bit
(isn't Linux fun!?) :)
