Mouse Scroll?

Matt.Ramos · 07-13-2004, 11:04 PM

Well.. I searched for about 20 or 30 minutes trying to find out how to get my mouse wheel to work, and I saw the code/command to put in my xorg.conf file, it was like, XZ something something 4 5

Mouse buttons 5

Well, I put that in, and X wouldn't start. I had to boot from disc 2, and "mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/hd" and "chroot /mnt/hd /bin/bash" to get those 2 lines out of there. Did I do something wrong? Or is it my mouse? Or computer?

Thanks a bunch

You need to add this to your section labeled Section "InputDevice":

Code:

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

That's all I have ever added.

Is that the only thing? And, will it work right away, or will I need to restart? Or log in and out?

Just restart X.

Just for reference, here is that whole section.

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

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

EDIT: I forgot you also need to add "IM" to the Protocol option like in the above example.

Code:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "Auto"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/mouse"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

That's mine now, I change "Auto" To yours?

[Edit]

I have a USB mouse.

blk96gt · 07-13-2004, 11:32 PM

Yeah I think that's how I did it on my laptop with the USB mouse on there.

Matt.Ramos · 07-13-2004, 11:36 PM

Wouldn't it mean that it's looking for my mouse in a PS/2 port? Even though it's USB?

blk96gt · 07-13-2004, 11:42 PM

I don't think so. I have IMPS/2 with the USB mouse on my laptop.

Matt.Ramos · 07-13-2004, 11:47 PM

Ok, i'll restart now, and tell you how it worked.

Matt.Ramos · 07-13-2004, 11:52 PM

It works! Thanks a lot

I'm now a scrolling machine

Thanks again

No problem.

I tried adding "Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"" and changing my setting to IMPS/2 instead of PS/2 and when I restarted my mouse was completely out of control. I'll have to try "Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"" with PS/2 instead.

This working in my x,org On Slackware 10

EndSection

Where do I get to this InputSelection screen? I understand the code that needs to be added, just don't know where to put it.
