Scroll problem

SlackTux · 05-30-2006, 04:04 PM

I have a MX500 and I allways had my scroll working just by adding to the xorg.conf the line:

Code:

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"

But now sudenly it just stoped working.
I've tried to re-run xorgconfig but with no results...this is a weird thing, anyone has any ideas?

Thanks

Did you also change

Code:

#    Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
    Option         "Protocol" "PS/2"

to

Code:

#    Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
    Option         "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

?

I've rebooted the system and now the scroll works again...this is very weird, i tought that only Windows was rebootware...

Slackware didn't need a reboot ... you needed to restart the X server.
Next time you have this particular need, you can issue "Ctrl+Alt+Backspace"
to exit X, then issue "startx" to, you guessed it, start X.
