Hi!

I have a question here. Does setting the resolution for the mouse in XF86Config make a difference? I have a logitech MX300, suppose to be a 800dpi mouse, therefore it explains the Option part.

Anyway, if there is anyway I can tweak my Slackware 9.1 to be correspond to the mouse resolution would be great.

Secondly, how can I configure the extra button function to whatever function I like?
(Scroll must work also)

Thanks.

hi,

never tried that mouse resolution thing. but normally slackware asks you if the mouse has got a wheel when finishing the installation. at least this is what slack 8.1 is doing, should be the same with 9.1.

ps the brave must win--and the brave is red!

these are the lines you need in XF86Config for your wheel to scroll. for other functions of the wheel (like to open an app) you would have to get a third party program for that as far as i know.

here is what i have and it works everytime for my logitech wheel mouse on ps/2

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"

# On platforms where PnP mouse detection is supported the following
# protocol setting can be used when using a newer PnP mouse:

# Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
# The mouse device. The device is normally set to /dev/mouse,
# which is usually a symbolic link to the real device.

Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"

the bold lines are usually what need to be changed after a standard install. as for the dpi settings...never changed anything like that and havent seen any need to at least for my mouse
