wheelmouse
 

hi!
I have a Safeway wheelmouse and I want to use the wheel. I have installed the IMWheel packet, done everything by the README and the mouse still doesn't work. I have rh7.2. Give me a suggestion, even if i have to install other software!
tnx

What does XF86Config say under pointers? You need

Option "ZAxis Mapping" "4 5"

for instance. Unless RH is weird.

Post the whole section as it will help others help you if that doesn't work.

# Pointer section # **********************************************************************

Section "Pointer"
Protocol "IMPS/2"
Device "/dev/psaux"
ZAxisMapping 4 5

# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment # the following line.

# Protocol "Xqueue"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice

# BaudRate 9600
# SampleRate 150

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice # Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

# Emulate3Buttons
# Emulate3Timeout 50

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

# ChordMiddle

EndSection

That looks right to me, except that it's missing Option and I suspect the absence of quotes is making a difference. And those settings may not work for *every* scrollwheel, but most. So edit that a little and you should be good to go.

i don't understand your reply:((((

I mean you've got:

ZAxisMapping 4 5

And it should be

Option "ZAxis Mapping" "4 5"

I could be mistaken and the syntax isn't significant but it usually is. ;) So just add Option and the quotes.

i've resolved it, quite simple!! i've chainged the setting for my mouse. In place of generic 3 button mose i've put microsoft intellimouse! indeed it makes weird things in textmode, i mean in init 3, but in kde it works perfect!!
