Logitech Cordless Mouse - OpenSuSE 11.2


I've upgraded from OpenSuSE 11.1 to 11.2 and for some reason the scrolling function of my Logitech Cordless mouse is no longer working.

It is a standard two button, plus scrolling wheel model of mouse.

The Device file for the mouse will be located at /etc/x11/xorg.conf

It consists of device type of your mouse

Quote:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
There you can edit the no of buttons, and scroll facility

Have you seen...

There is this short guide if it helps. It will at least give you an idea of what can be relevant.

In versions of openSUSE before 11.2, it was possible to reconfigure a mouse using the "sax2" command, but that feature seems to have been removed.
