Wheres the mousewheel?

Boom · 02-14-2003, 04:51 AM

I just installed Suse 8.1 and my mouse wheel is not working. I have the correct mouse selected in the control panel, but there is no option to configure or test the wheel. It worked fine in Redhat 8 and Mandrake 9. Is it possible with Suse? Thanks,

I used to have the sdame problem under RH8.0
Problem appears a few weeks ago ... and not yet solved.

Is there someone who can help us both ?

okay you'll need to edit XF86Config or if you have XF86Config-4 you'll need to edit it.

You'll find either or both in /etc/X11
If you have XF86Config-4 make sure you edit it because it will be the one loaded.
Use a text editor to open either one you're editing.
Go down to a section that is
in XF86Config-4 InputDevice
with Identifier "Mouse1" under it
in XF86Config Pointer

in XF86Config-4 add these 2 lines
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

in XF86Config add
Protocol "IMPS/2"
ZAxisMapping 4 5

Sounds nice !

I see that mention "IMPS/2" which rings a bell to me
What about USB mice ?

Have you tired the snippet above with your USB mouse, I think it should work.
