hi..

Well, the subject speaks for itself... I'd like my logitech mouse wheel to work, so I browsed LQ a bit and found out that you must add Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" if you want it to work.. But what can I say? It did'nt help... I still can't use the mouse wheel...

I ran slackware 8.1 before and it worked very well then...

Where did you add it?

under Input Device Mouse.. About there... Uhm, just under Option "Buttons" "5"

Did you specifiy
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

?

yeah, I tried it, but then the X server did'nt want to load at all...

That happened b/c X won't start without a pointing device
(You can set it up to do so of course but it's not usually set to)

What's the output of:
dmesg | grep HID

oh yes and can you post the whole "input device" section of your XF86Config?

okay, dmesg | grep HID:

root@vallby:/# dmesg | grep HID
usbmouse.c: v1.6:USB HID Boot Protocol mouse driver
hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers


and the whole "Input Device"
