Drake 10.1 mouse wheel doesn't scroll

kristi · 02-08-2005, 04:05 PM

Just installed Mandrake 10.1 OE (3CDs)

First, in system/configuration/other/localeDrake(system) hardware mouse:
It always ends up in Universal anyPS2&USB mouse, no matter where I set it.
(It's a Logitech M-BD53 optical wheel mouse with wire)

The 2 top buttons work fine, but the wheel either does nothing or does a previous/next in Firefox, or does sideways scroll in other boxes.

I want it to do a up/down scroll.
tia!!!

open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf with whatever text editor you want and copy and paste the following section of your file:

# **********************************************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Much too easy!!!

Mine had 6 7 for the axis, so naturally it went sideways.
What's the "buttons" "5" do?

Thanks profusely!!!
