Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" won't work
hi..
Well, the subject speaks for itself... I'd like my logitech mouse wheel to work, so I browsed LQ a bit and found out that you must add Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" if you want it to work.. But what can I say? It did'nt help... I still can't use the mouse wheel...
I ran slackware 8.1 before and it worked very well then...
