Red Hat 7.3 and Mouse Scroll
 
Hey all,

I've been using RH since 5.2 and since somewhere during the 6.x series I've been using my mouse wheel to scroll but now that I've installed 7.3 it no longer works.

I've tried everything I can think of and nothing works.

Here is what I've got now...

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

I've tried changing the Protocol to imps but that causes the mouse to stick in the left bottom corner and do lots of wacky crap.
I've tried changing the Device to /dev/mouse but that does not change anything... it's a Logitech Trackman Marble Wheel ps/2 and like I said I've been using the mouse scroll with the same mouse and same hardware since RH 7.0 but now it's not working, i'm not sure it RH changed mouse drivers or if XFree86 4.0.2 is that different from other versions.

I've been going nuts for two weeks trying to get this working, any help would be wonderful, thanks.

Ok, this is strange but it works...

I used mouseconfig to rework the settings...

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
# Modified by mouseconfig
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

but when I run startx if I don't move my mouse around real fast while X is starting the mouse sticks to the bottom left corner and freaks out... lol... oh well scroll is working.... not like I expected, but it's working.
