x86config question, please help
 
i recently reinstalled debian and my wheel isn't working on my mouse. I went to open x86config in /etc/x11/ and there isn't one. there is a XF86Config-4 and this is the part i have a question about

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse" <b>"IMPS/2"</b>
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

the bold is the driver i need and i just typed that in, but haven't saved anything yet, until i get some expert advice. would that fix my wheel if i saved it out as "X86Config"

also on a different note. my sound isn't working either, when i try to run sndconfig i get this error:
<b>You don't seem to be running a kernel with modular sound
enabled. (soundcore.o was not found in the module search path).
To use sndconfig, you must be running a kernel with modular
sound, such as the kernel images shipped with Debian Linux or
a 2.2 or greater kernel. </b>

i am running sid (recently dist updated)

any ideas anyone??

actually, in XF86Config this is whats in there for my mouse, which looks ok to me but the wheel doesn't work now

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

No. Your configuration file is really XF86Config-4 not XF86Config. Most wheel mouses also have 3 buttons so you can delete the emulate3button line.
