Problem with wheel on lohitech m700

koy · 09-08-2004, 01:34 PM

I'm running suse 9.1, and since yesterday my mousewheel on my m700 cordless optical mouse doesn't scroll anymore, under firefox it goes back or forward (instead of scrolling the site by 3 lines), and on other programs it doesn't do anything when i scroll.

Funny thing is that it was sudden, maybe I pressed some button or smth.
I looked at the kde,yast and sax2 settings, but they all seemed to have the right config and mouse wheel activated.

I am wondering how I can fix that, as I got so much use to scrolling with the wheel

Double check the /etc/XF86Config file (or whatever xorg's config is if you have it.)

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver       "mouse"
  Identifier   "Mouse[1]"
  Option       "ButtonNumber" "5"
  Option       "Buttons" "7"
  Option       "Device" "/dev/mouse"
  Option       "EmulateWheel" "on"
  Option       "EmulateWheelButton" "4"
  Option       "Name" "Autodetection"
  Option       "Protocol" "imps/2"
  Option       "Vendor" "Sysp"
  Option       "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

seems to be ok

I'm not sure, but try taking out the EmulateWheel options. I think for my config file, it's jsut mouse buttons 7 and use 4/5 for z-axis. I have the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer.

nah, that doesn't help.

thing is, that the wheel works perfectly, only that it doesn't scroll (as I said, on firefox it goes back one page or forward, instead of scrolling down or up)

Run xev and scroll and click your buttons. Then watch the output, that should give you information on what your buttons are telling your computer.

scroll up is button 6 and down is button 7

now what I wanna know is where I should enter this info (cause atm button 6 goes forward and 7 backwards :S)

change your zaxismapping to "6 7" if it's going backwards, flip it to "7 6"
