Logitech USB scroll mouse

My mouse is functioning near perfectly. In all other distros of Linux I've tried so far it's worked fine. In Windows it works fine.

However, in Slackware I have a problem. I cannot get the scrolling wheel to work at all.

The mouse section of my xorg.conf file is as follows:

Code:

# **********************************************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier	"Mouse1"
    Driver	"mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "Auto"	# Auto detect
    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"

# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.

#    Option "Protocol"	"Xqueue"

# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.

#    Option "Resolution"	"256"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.

#    Option "BaudRate"	"9600"
#    Option "SampleRate"	"150"

# Mouse wheel mapping.  Default is to map vertical wheel to buttons 4 & 5,
# horizontal wheel to buttons 6 & 7.   Change if your mouse has more than
# 3 buttons and you need to map the wheel to different button ids to avoid
# conflicts.
    Option "Buttons"     "5"
    Option "ZAxisMapping"   "4 5"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

#    Option "Emulate3Buttons"
#    Option "Emulate3Timeout"    "50"

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

#    Option "ChordMiddle"

EndSection

Please instruct me on how I would get the scroll working.

After some searching on this forum I see a lot of people are being told to use the imPS/2 or something like that protocol. Would this work with a Logitech USB mouse or is that only for a PS/2 mouse?

After trying it to see, I have found that IMPS/2 for Logitech USB scroll mice does indeed work.

This should do it for you.

Edit xorg.conf and add the following:

Option "PROTOCOL" "IPMS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Works on my usb Logi LX5 and G7
