Scrolling in Linux windows
 

K, i'm a total linux newbie and am getting used to linux on a dual boot system. I'm missing a few little things i had in windows. Was wondering if someone could help. I'm sure linux supports it, just cant find where.

How can i configure linux so it scrolls the window vertical when i use the wheel on my mouse? At the moment , i have to actually move the mouse onto the scroll bar to then scroll up and down. IS there any way i can set the defualt scrolling to vertical so its scrolls up and down where ever my mouse is in the window?

i can scroll in mozilla firefox since it has auto scroll functions
dunno what application u need to scroll!

edit your XF86Config-4 file (or xorg) located in /etc/X11 to add Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" in the Section "InputDevice"

here is mine :

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

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

Cheers Heema , shall try it when i get home.

Liiinux, i mean scrolling in any window, mainly korquerer. I find it normally wants to scroll horizontally when i use the wheel until i move the pointer over the right hand scroll bar.
