changing the mouse type to IMPS/2 should normally do it. you've already got the zaxismapping stuff uncommented.

I have already tried that thing but that does'nt work
Please Help!

acid_kewpie · 01-03-2005, 11:18 AM

if you tried that already, why didn't you say so? did you try ExplorerPS/2 aswell?

ilnli · 01-03-2005, 11:23 AM

yes i got it working now.
but how can I slow down the scroll speed?

ilnli · 01-03-2005, 11:24 AM

and one more thing
I got vertical scrolling but my horizontal scrolling still not working

Try changing the Buttons to 7 and add a YAxis line similar to ZAxis.

Don't have that type of mouse myself but give it a shot. I'm just
stabbing at this.

(Edit: I also noticed that your BAUD and SAMPLE Rates are commented
out, try uncommenting those two lines and it should slow down. If you
google your mouse or look it up on the support website, if known, then
you can put the actual numbers there for that particular mouse.)
