Hmm...My mouse wheel is acting as a third button


However, when I ran xorgconfig, I specified not to emulate a three-button mouse. Is there some additional configuration I must make before I can scroll up & down with the wheel?

In the file /etc/X11/XorgConfig, add the following lines:

In the Input Device section that refers to the mouse:
1) Change the line Protocol to be IMPS/2
2) Add a line
Code:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
to the same section.

I hope this helps
