evano, the file you need to edit is /etc/X11/XF86Config , log in as root (in good old command line), open it up with your favorite text editor (I like pico, the command is pico /etc/X11/XF86Config), go down to where you see a section about your mouse, and add this line

Option "ZaxisMapping" "4 5"

Save it (In pico its ^CTRL + O to save), and startx (or if you are in a virtual console get back into X, and do ^CTRL + ALT + Backspace to restart the X server so the changes take effect.)

and the scroll mouse *should* work..

hecresper looks around. hmm, yep I'm in the Slackware forum!

thx c++ freak, worked without a hitch...

Glad I could help.

i'm still having issues trying to get my mouse wheel to work :/ . i'm using an MS usb optical mouse. this is how my xconfig file looks like in /etc/X11 . i'm using slack 9.
**********************************************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"

# On platforms where PnP mouse detection is supported the following
# protocol setting can be used when using a newer PnP mouse:

# Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"

Getting any errors related to your mouse
in /var/log/XFree86.0.log?

Cheers,

i tailed the log file:

(**) Mouse1: Core Pointer
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
(**) Option "Buttons" "5"
(**) Mouse1: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50
(**) Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
(**) Mouse1: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) Mouse1: Buttons: 5
(II) Keyboard "Keyboard1" handled by legacy driver
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse1" (type: MOUSE)
(II) Mouse1: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded


doesn't look like there were any problems loading.

The only differenc between yours and
my section is the lack of buttons 5 in
my one, and my wheel works fine :0

Cheers,
Tink

sehris : in your XF86Config file try uncommenting :

# Option "Protocol" "Auto"

and making it

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

Hope this helps you!

Here is a great article that I found on google a while ago. Hope it helps. Basically what you do is use xev to determine if the keys are mapped and x recognizes them, then modifies the files to give them a symbol you can use. Then you can use them in your programs to do whatever you want. For example, you can map the windows-E key to open your file manager (im still used to the windows hotkeys and they're there to use).

i've tried either way and still same result :\


i was planning on doing this soon but got a bit tired and just played around with getting used to installing stuff from source. i don't get why anyone would want to bother with rpm's when installing stuff from source is so simple and straight forward. as long as you look at the readme file or the install instruction's on the software's website, it goes off without a hitch!

anyway back to topic (sorry about that lol), unfortunately i'm not at home right now and can't get out of the firewall here to telnet into my box to try it :\ . i'll let you know how it goes.
