HARDWARE INFO:
Scanport sm5 3D Mouse - Specifications
How about asking Scanport about Linux, etc.
compatibilities.  They have web support.

Other ideas...  From Freshmeat!

Imwheel makes the wheel of your Intellimouse
(and other wheel and stick mice) work in Linux/X11
to scroll windows up and down, or send keys to
programs. It runs in the background as a daemon
and requires little reconfiguration of the XWindows
setup. 4 or more button mice and Alps Glidepad
'Taps' may also be used. imwheel includes a modified
gpm for an alternate method of wheel input.

Enable_Logitech_Wheel is designed to send
re-initialization strings to the mouse device which
enable the scroll wheel functions of many popular
OEM models of Logitech's FirstMouse+ and MouseMan+
(Models M-S48 and M-S48-OEM which are based off a
Zilog controller chip and do not initalize with the
standard Xserver or gpm packages). When run the
mouse will issue commands sequences identical to
the retail version of the FirstMouse+ (M-C48) and
work properly with XFree86 Releases > 3.3.2.
