Mouse scrolling problem

Denisius · 10-29-2007, 10:12 AM

I'm trying to get my mouse to use the middle button to scroll, i added 'Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"' to my xorg.conf, but it still doesn't work.

Here is the relevant xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver
# On platforms where PnP mouse detection is supported the following
# protocol setting can be used when using a newer PnP mouse:
# Option "Protocol" "Auto"
# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:
# Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
# Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2

# ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue
# which is usually a symbolic link to the real device.
# Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
# Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"
# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.
# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"
# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.
# Option "BaudRate" "9600"
# Option "SampleRate" "150"

You must change the above to:

Code:

Option "Protocol"    "imps/2"

Alright, it works now. Thanks!

One more question, how can i shut down my computer in KDE?

I think you would need to start KDE from kdm to accomplish that.

edit this line in /etc/inittab

# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:4:initdefault:

you probably have 3 instead of 4, if so change it to 4. that way your system will boot up in X and you'll see kdm. so when you wanna log out of kde you'll get the shutdown and reboot options.

Go to Konsole and type in:

init 0

Hit enter, and watch your computer shut down.

Well, the more conventional way is 'shutdown -h now'.
