3 button mouse (scroll button)
Hi all,
Im using Slackware 10 atm, but I dont seem to get my scroll button working. My mouse is working fine, but dont know why my middle scroll button is not scrolling. Can someone help me with this? I have a Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical USB. I hope to get answers ASAP. BTW, Im loving Slackware 10. Hehehe.. :) Cheers, Spyiish:D |
In you /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file your mouse section should look something like this.
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection |

Lost.. :( |
In keeping with this thread but getting slightly off course, I have a Logitech Optical Cordless mouse. It has a 'thumb' button I'd like to put to use. Maybe make it a 'back' button. I've configured the mouse so the scroll and up/down button work. No problem there. But how or what do I have to do to make my thumb button work? I don't know the model number for it but it has the right, left, scroll and of course a thumb button. Using Slackware 10.0. Thanks.

he means xorg.conf. i would change Code:
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Code:
Option "Buttons" "5" slackie1000 edit: alioop, for the thumb button i suggest here |
I changed the one to true, but where do i find button? I dont see it anywhere.. :(
Weird... |
you write ? :cool:
exact like mindcry's post regards slackie1000 |
I had this exact same problem with the exact same mouse. After some digging, I found a configuration that works great -
Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "Mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Buttons" "5" Option " ZxisMapping" "4 5" Not sure why I had to use the protocol IMPS/2 when it is a usb mouse but it seems to work well. Oh yeah I have it running through a KVM so not sure if that makes a diff. Hope that helps |
I have the same mouse as Spyiish and fender36's setup works perfectly :D
|
You mean u have a 3 buttons mouse where the middle one is the scroller, and it works well for u??
|
Note in fender36's post that Zxis should be ZAxis, simple typo :)
Yes I have just the basic mouse, left & right buttons and a scroll wheel. At first I was thinking it's only 3 buttons, but from what I learned, it is technically 5 buttons left button right button scroll forward scroll backward scroll button pressed down Hope this helps :) |
Very nice...
So how did u configure it to make all working? Can u post ur configurations? Thanks. |

Ok, I got my scroll working... but how do I make my scroll working when I press it down? I cant get it working when I press down my middle button.

Hi all,
I configured my mouse button, but the middle scroll button - whenever I click on it, it goes to my homepage. Can someone help me with this? Thanks, Spyiish |
