Hi, I'm new here.
I need some help, can somebody tell me how to enable mouse wheel to scroll in Slackware 9.0 (for example in konqueror).
Do I need to install a specific driver for that?if that's the case where can I find the driver?
I'm a newbie,just migrated to Linux today,please don't use difficult terms.
thank you.^^

Which mouse do u have?
For mine, M$ optical Explorer:
In your XF86config file, in the mouse section u have to do:

Replace the "Protocol" ... with "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
For the wheel:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"...

Kindly embrace the undeniable power of this peculiar thingie, which for example can take you here, here and here, not to mention here.

thnx for your advice

I'm using MS optical mouse blue.
I've changed the XF86config file.
from
"Protocol" "USB" to "Protocol" ExplorerPS/2"
and then I add the Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
then I restart X,but the wheel still don't work.

after that I used the converter (usb to ps/2) which is bundled with my mouse and restart my computer.

Linux said that it is unable to find the mouse. and I can't start X, because the mouse is missing.
can you tell me how to uninstall the "previous usb driver" of the mouse and change it by using ps/2 interface?

Thnx, I'll try to use this feature before asking the same questions again and again. It makes my life easier.
and sorry everybody for the double post.

reinstall my slackware and add the "ZAxisMapping" option.
it works now. thank you.
