Can't get scroll button to work with Slackware 10.0
 

I'm a newb when it comes to linux and i was wondering where in the xorg.conf i add some sort of lines to get my scroll button mouse to work? thanks

you need ZAxisMapping like so

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

that's just my mouse section.. you only need the zaxismapping part...

where does this go in the xorg.conf?

Yeap!

it goes in the mouse section. mouse section is under the keyboard section.

When I am logged on as root the scroll works fine but when logged on as a user with default privaliges it does not work.

Am I missing something here?

cheers

Goes here
# **********************************************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Good Luck! :Pengy:

That's where I had it. After logging off a couple of times it worked. Don't ask me why...

cheers
