Mouse Config
Why is it that things that worked in Mandrake do not work here in RedHat. My wheel on my mouse does not scroll here in RH 7.2. I have tried /usr/sbin/mouseconfig but the effects do not happen. Is there another solution?

Hello there,
In Red Hat 7.2, you have to edit the "InputDevice" section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file as given below : Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no Afterwards restart X and then wheel mouse will work for all applications except Netscape. And then to see how to fix Netscape problems, check out this page : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...threadid=10514 Best regards, Salman |
Are these commands or should I type something else in order to see these items?

These are settings you'll have to add and/or edit IN your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. There is an input.txt file that will also help with what is being talked about. It is in the kernel source directory.
/usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10/Documentation/usb/input.txt or /usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10/Documentation/input/input.txt It's a very helpful file...I can't remember if 2.4.7-10 is the exact kernel dir, but you get the jist. |
Anyone know why when I do this - it makes my mouse in X goes nuts? I have a Microsoft Intellimouse with wheel (not 5 button).
|
imwheel can make mice go nuts on new distro's...as can gpm.
|
There has got to be a way to make this work - with a third party program or something.
