I'm running a Debian unstable system. The system as been running for about 6 months now and i have been very happy with it. However for some reason the scroll mouse is not fully functional. I can scroll with the wheel but any click with is no longer does anything. These worked in the passed and i'm not sure if i broke it, or i broke during an apt-get update. Anyway here is my XF86Conifg-4 file. I'm guessing the problem is in it, altough i haven't been able to find it.

If there is any other info that may be need please let me know, this problem has stumped me for a while. I hope someone out there has the magic answer that will fix this.

Thanks

You have two mouse sections if your file, perhaps that's confusing it. Is it a usb mouse or does it plug into the mouse socket or do you have 2 mouses hooked up?

# Configuring X
Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO - video cards
The Linux XFree86 HOWTO
Common X configuring tools:
Debian - dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
Mandrake - XFdrake
Redhat 7.3 down - the setup utility leads to several config tools
Redhat 7.3 up - redhat-config-xfree86
You may have these tools:
XF86Setup
XFree86 -configure
Xconfigurator
xf86cfg
xf86config
xconf
ATI Linux drivers
If you need the nVidia driver, most likely, you want the Linux IA32 driver

Yeah i saw that 2 mouse thing. I was leaving it in originally because i want to be able to plug in a usb mouse if i ever needed to. But since i haven't yet i don't think i really will be. I"ll back that file up and take that out. I also am gong to take out all the extra monitor setting. I don't Think i really need those eaither
Thanks

Ok here is my new XFree86 file. All i did was take out some of the extra stuff. I'm not a expert on confing X so if anyone has any other ideas let me know

Thanks again
Ed

To your

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"


add the line

Option "Buttons" "5"

and see if that works.

I am pretty certain that you need to tell X that you have 5 buttons in order to get the ZAxisMapping for Buttons 4 and 5.

And why 5 buttons you ask?

Button 1 -- left

Button 2 -- wheel click

Button 3 -- right

Button 4 -- wheel rotation forward

Button 5 -- wheel rotation backward

(I may have the forward and backward back to front thought!)

I added the:
Option "Buttons" "5"
thing and I had no luck. I'm wondering if it is somthing in the lastest X package in debain unstable???

Did you try to change the protocol for the standard mouse?
ImPS/2 is for the USB mouse only (as far as I know).
Try changing to "PS/2" that should work, if you use a generic PS/2 Mouse.

HTH.

ok now... I tried it by myself!

I found http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse.html
was a good source for configuring.

My HP PS/2 scroll mouse now scrolls
and does anything as wanted.

I just corrected the mouse section as followed:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

This should work with your USB Mouse too now!

But be shure to activate the kernel drivers for USB-HID and
USB-mouse support.
And dont't forget Input core support and Mouse support (mousedev under kernel/drivers/input) because otherwise
/dev/input/mice won't be available.
For debian you can do this under modconf.

Have more fun now with your scroll mouse

Hey thanks, I think I found my probelm. Thanks for the help
