Hello,

Add this option in Section "InputDevice" for your mouse (Identifier "Mouse1")

Code:
Option     "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Also, since your mouse is a touchpad, you may like to try the synaptics driver. Here's one sample in comments (i.e. lines start with #]

Code:
#Section "InputDevice" 
#       Identifier    "Pad1" 
#       Driver        "synaptics" 
#       Option           "Protocol" "auto-dev" 
#       Option           "Device" "/dev/input/ts0" 
#       Option        "LeftEdge"      "1700" 
#       Option        "RightEdge"     "5300" 
#       Option        "TopEdge"       "1700" 
#       Option        "BottomEdge"    "4200" 
#       Option        "FingerLow"     "25" 
#       Option        "FingerHigh"    "30" 
#       Option        "MaxTapTime"    "180" 
#       Option        "MaxTapMove"    "220" 
#       Option        "VertScrollDelta" "100" 
#       Option        "MinSpeed"      "0.09" 
#       Option        "MaxSpeed"      "0.18" 
#       Option        "AccelFactor"   "0.0015" 
#       Option        "SHMConfig"     "on" 
#EndSection
If you want to give it a try, you'll have to google to find how to set-up correctly the touchpad options and do not forget to change the name of inputdevice in Section "ServerLayout" (from mouse1 to pad1) at the end of the xorg.conf file.

so my xorg.conf must look like so:

Hello,

If you want to use "pad1", please remove the "#" in the inputdevice section.

I would suggest to try first with "Mouse1" inputdevice to make sure the ZAxisMapping option solves your issue with scrolling.

Then before you switch to "pad1", you must also put the various options to appropriate value. I'm sorry I do not use this synaptics driver so I can not point you to a how-to and man page.

Hello,

You put the ZAxisMapping option in the wrong part of xorg.conf (i.e. sample inputdevice), please look further down the file for the real inputdevice section for "Mouse1"

I believe it was installed in a full install (slack 12.2 anyway).

Here is what worked for me. BTW, "man synaptics" has a wealth of useful information.

In the "Module" section, you need

Code:
Load  "synaptics
In the "ServerLayout" section you (may) need

Code:
InputDevice    "Synaptics Touchpad" "CorePointer"
Here, "Synaptics Touchpad" corresponds to the Identifier in the "InputDevice" section for the pointer, which is as follows.

Code:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option      "SendCoreEvents" "true"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option      "SHMConfig" "on"
        Option      "LeftEdge" "1700"
        Option      "RightEdge" "5300"
        Option      "TopEdge" "1700"
        Option      "BottomEdge" "4200"
        Option      "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
        Option      "HorizEdgeScroll" "true"
        Option      "FingerLow" "25"
        Option      "FingerHigh" "30"
        Option      "MaxTapTime" "180"
        Option      "MaxTapMove" "220"
        Option      "VertScrollDelta" "100"
        Option      "HorizScrollDelta" "100"
        Option      "MinSpeed" "0.09"
        Option      "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
        Option      "AccelFactor" "0.0015"
        Option      "RTCornerButton" "2"
        Option      "RBCornerButton" "3"
EndSection
With this configuration I have vertical scrolling on the right side of the pad, horizontal scrolling (in apps that support it) along the bottom. Tapping the upper right corner is button two and lower right is button 3.

Hope this helps.

You should not remove things related to you graphics device and monitor (I can only assume that's what you did). I am no xorg.conf expert either. Again, "man xorg.conf" will tell you about the different sections of the xorg.conf file. This is a good page to read.

I'm reluctant to try and edit your file. The information I posted would only be replacements to similar sections or additions to the indicated sections. Everything else should be left alone.
