Logitech wheelmouse problem on Slack 9.0


I'm using Logitech Wheelmouse, and the wheel are working on RedHat, Mandrake, and Vector but i can't make it work on Slack 9.0. Can someone please tell me what's wrong ???, i've already tried to configure it using kxconfig and xf86config but it doesn't seem to work. Can someone help me ???

Yep, know exactly what you are talking about, that was my question about a year ago, here are my notes, works every time, i think you may have to reboot after doing this however:

How to get the scroller to work on the Mouse:

open to edit

/etc/X11/XF86Config

Change: ps/2 to IMPS/2 Protocol

Then Add Line: Option "ZaxisMapping" "4 5"
then type in :wq to Write & Quit

DONE !!! ENJOY !!!

Do a search on this...

I believe it's as simple as adding:

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"

to the mouse section of your XF86Config-4

I may have remembered that wrong, just do a search on this board -- it's been covered. I read about it last week

Sounds like you have a button for each finger, you get bored easy or something?
