I am using the Enlightenment Window Manager, and it requires the mouse a lot. I am wondering how to get my scroll wheel working, and what file I have to configure to do so. Thanks.

PS: If anyone can tell me how to mount/read NTFS partitions that would be nice too

Thanks in advance

Hello

Depends on what mouse you use. You'll have to make some changes to /etc/X11/XF86Config.

Take a look at:

and the NTFS mounting?

To mount the NTFS windows partition you'll have to edit your fstab

I believe it's /etc/fstab

add an entry to it saying..

/dev/hda1 (or wherever windows is at) /mnt/windows ntfs rw,uid=502,uid=503,umask=0007

Of course, replace the uid= to whatever your user ID is. I believe that's all there is, I'm doing this by memory so you may want to get a confirmation.

question: what the hell is a user ID? sorry, i am new to this stuff.

To find out your user ID (hoping you're on Mandrake, since that's the only distro I know right now), right click on your desktop (if you're still using that same window manager), go to configuration, other, then drakconf. If otherwise, I'm not too sure. Just look around online on how to find user ID. Oh, and to actually answer the questions, user ID is just that, your user ID. If you're the first user account that's been created besides root, your user ID is probably 501.

Also in the above reply I posted, it says uid= two times. This is because I have two users that I allow to see the ntfs partition. If you only want yourself to be on there simply delete the other uid.
