Question Logitech Scroll Mouse


Hi,
I have a Logitech 2 button scroll wheel mouse. I would like to enable the scroll feature but I am new to linux and do not know how. I am using Redhat 7.3 with KDE 3. Any suggestions? Thanks.

RH should have set it up for you, but if ain't happen here comes teh rescue crew, here is my section for input device from /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" is what you need

My XF86Config-4 file already has that line in it. I know that the scroll wheel works because I have tested it on a windows machine and it works. Could there be some option within KDE3 that is not allowing it to scroll? Thnaks.

Are you trying to use scroll in netscape? Netscape prior 6.1 doesn't seem to support scrolling, is that it? Also check the protocol your mouse is using (Protocol entrry in XF86Config-4 file snipplet)
