Suse 10.0 usb mousewheel


Hi,

I use Suse 10.0, I have tried to use yast to enable the usb mouse wheel, but nothing happens, event after vtrl-alt-backspace.

Can I do something manually, or can someone explain me in detail where to press to make it work ??

The correct X86Config entry would also do fine :-)

This works for me.

Due to fact mouse(s) have always worked for me I've never investigated what is the difference between protocols. Perhaps you should try another protocol. My working conf is below.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

/etc/X11/xorg.conf

This is where mine is and AFAIK this is the first place where X server looks for it. It may be elsewhere in Knoppix.
