Mouse Wheel in Xorg
 
Hi All,

Running Slackware 10.2 and Kernel 2.6

I have the mouse working in Xorg but the mouse wheel doesn't work.

In xorg.conf I am using ZAxisMapping 4 5 and protocol IMPS/2 as I normally do, but for some reason the wheel isn't working !?

so do you have
Code:
ZAxisMapping 4 5
or
Code:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
in your xorg.conf?

the former is incorrect, the latter is not.

Sugarat 09-02-2006 06:03 AM
Yes, the latter..

The same code as I always use, except for some reason it's not working! :-(

Xorg.conf here

How about adding: Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"

Sugarat 09-02-2006 08:58 AM
Added that to the mouse section, restarted X but still no joy :-(

do a xmodmap -pp and see what it returns. (You can almost assuredly remove the Emulate as well (left over from my Xree86 I believe

It's possible that the button mapping changed, then you would just change the xorg.conf to reflect that.

Code:
adam@gingernut:~$ xmodmap -pp
There are 5 pointer buttons defined.

    Physical        Button
    Button          Code
        1              1
        2              2
        3              3
        4              4
        5              5
Seems to match up?

Fixed... Not sure why, but I compiled the latest kernel with pretty much the very same config, and now it works... Weird.

2.6.17 works where the mouse wheel didn't in 2.6.13.

Strangeness....

Did you report the bug or see if it had been reported?
