My mouse wheel
 
It doesn't work, like I can't scroll down on webpages. But for some reason it lets me click and scroll (You know how if you click the wheel down, it'll bring up a circle with up/down and maybe left/right options)

Any advice?

Could you post a portion of you /etc/X11/XF86Config file where it says:
Section "InputDevice"
driver "mouse"
etc.
.
.
.
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
Option "Name" "Autodetection"
Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2"
Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
EndSection

for suse, this is my mouse information in my /etc/X11/xf86config file:

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

the important parts are the Options "Buttons" and "ZAxisMapping"

I have a five-button mouse, (Noticed that you had five buttons there), can I do that? Cuz it's hard to live with myself knowing I have back/forward buttons righ there, but still clicking it manually. Its like having a remote with dead batteries



Should I use the same as yours except change the dir to what mine is?

i think all you need to do is add:

Option "Buttons" "5"

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
(with a space between the 4 and 5..) and it should work for ya

Awesome, thanks. I'll do it in about an hour or less and post the results (I'm on Windows right now doing someone a favor)
