PS2 wheel mouse/wheel not working

Hi!

I installed Slackware on my PC with Mozilla, oOo, LAMPP, SugarCRM,
Spamassassin, Vipul's razor.
Everything is running smoothly.
I have a standard PS2 3 button wheel mouse. The 3 buttons are working fine.
However the wheel does not work.
I would like it to be available for scrolling.

Is it possible?

How?

Welcome to LQ!

Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and add
the two options noted in bold in this section

Code:

# **********************************************************************

# Core Pointer's InputDevice section

# **********************************************************************



Section "InputDevice"



# Identifier and driver



    Identifier  "Mouse1"

    Driver      "mouse"



# On platforms where PnP mouse detection is supported the following

# protocol setting can be used when using a newer PnP mouse:



#    Option    "Protocol"      "Auto"



# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:

#    Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2

#    Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2

#    MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse

#    ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue

    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"  < - add IM to the PS/2 

    Option "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"  <- and add this

then exit the X server, and then restart it, and your wheel
should scroll...

Update your mouse driver mine worked after that.real easy too
