Mouse scroll wheel
 
Im running Suse, using KDE desktop, and I cant get my scroll wheel to work on my mouse. Any sugestions?

Also I cant figure out where to go to change the screen reolution. I went into desktop properties but couldnt find anywhere there.

thanks

thanks a bunch I will check those out, I'm new to linux, Like really I just installed it about 20 minutes ago, so Im trying to figure it all out.

Ok from reading those It looks like I need to change the xf86config file. I looked at mine and have this...

ection "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
Option "Name" "Autodetection"
Option "Protocol" "ps/2"
Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
EndSection

Is there anything wrong with this? Also im not sure how to change the xf86config file, I looked at it through a text editor in KDE but it said not the change it. Do I have to do the cntr alt f1 thing to change it. Thanks.

Try changing it to this:

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver      "mouse"
  Identifier  "Mouse[1]"
  Option      "Device" "/dev/mouse"
  #Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
  Option      "Name" "Autodetection"
  Option      "Protocol" "ps/2"
  Option      "Vendor" "Sysp"
  Option      "Buttons"  "5"
  Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Make sure you pay attention to the capitalized letters as it makes a difference and also, there is a space between the 4 and 5 in the 2nd to last line.
