How to support wheel mouse on Debian?


Hi all,

I have Debian sarge on a box with AMD Athlon 1.3 GHz processor (probably not relevant).

Can someone tell me what package(s) I need to get support for the wheel scrolling (also acts like the middle button of a 3-button mouse when depressed) with a PS/2 mouse?

Many thanks.

Welcome to LQ!

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf you'll need these two lines:
Code:
    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4  5"
to get the rodent to scroll with the wheel.
