Mouse Wheel Problems

Hi everyone,

I just installed Slackware 9.0 last night and everything is running well.
My problem right now has been not being able to get the wheel/scrolling feature of my mouse to work.

I have a Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse and I have read many familiar problems on this forum that other users were experiencing. I tried them all and I am still not able to get it to work. Below is what in my InputSection of my XF86Config file:

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Mouse1"

Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"

EndSection

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Option "Buttons" "3"

or omit the line from the file
