LinuxQuestions.org - PS/2 scroll mouse not working properly

debian sarge distro
KDE 3.2.x
kdm
generic scroll 2 button mouse

i know scroll will work, but for the life of me i can not get this mouse to work properly in debian.

currently this is what my XF86config-4 looks like for that area....

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"

        Driver          "mouse"

        Option          "CorePointer"

# added 12-2-04

#      Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"

        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"

#      Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mouse0"

#      Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"

        Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"

        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"      "true"

        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"

EndSection

i have tried setting it to ImPS/2 i have adjusted the /dev/input/mouse mice, etc...

if i can get the scroll portion to work, the mouse pointer gets real jumpy around desktop icons or around the edge of a window. making it worthless as it can not be accuartly controlled around icons and the edge of windows, so what good is it...

FYI i took the USB scroll mouse out that was working as scroll and mouse because at random it would go nuts. by that i mean it would start flying (blindingly fast) around the screen and left right clicking at random around the screen causing all kinds of a mess on my desktop. could be reset by unplugging the mouse and plugging it back in, but that is a bit crazy so i left the USB for a more common/standard PS/2 device in hopes of resolving this issue.

now i can not get the scroll to work. the mouse works fine if i am not using the imps/2 and just the older ps/2, but i would like to have my scroll function working.

help please.
