Mouse problem with KDE3.1.4 and slack

Morz · 03-25-2004, 05:47 AM

Hi all, I have just installed slack 9.1 with kde3.1.4 ...
All works fine but the mouse (a standard PS/2 wheel mouse) does not want to make me wheeeeeel :-)

I have make all the changes by hand in the XF86Config, but when I go in kde control center it don't take the correct info about the mouse......in the cc I see nothing is configured about it....

What can I do?????

thx !!!!

did you add the

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

line to your mouse's config in XF's config file?

Now....really i forgot the ZAxisMapping. I insert it but nothing seems to go yet.
The strange thing is that in KDE Control Center - mouse section - it don't let me select NOTHING!
I see only the mouse type (USB, PS/2, etc) but i can not select nothing in model and port....if I go on and save the configuration i find that it write these lines in XF86Config:

Identifier "Mouse"
Option "Protocol" ""
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Driver "mouse"
EndSection

What can I do???????
Thx !!

The changes to XF86Config must also be made to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (as root) if you are using the default (later) version of XFree86 (4.x). The following line should be entered exactly as below (with the quotation marks) at the bottom of the section

Code:

Section "Input Device"

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" (as mentioned in the earlier post - thanks! this fixed it for me

)

Then logout of your session (the Window Manager needs to restart), and log back in again.

TaDAAAAA!

Kewl, no?

Hope this does it for you as it did for me.
