Ok I feel like a noob, mouse wheel probs


LOL. I don't know why my mouse wheel is not working. I put this in my mouse section of xorg:

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Its a PS/2 optical scroll mouse. Brand is AOpen.

Anyone know what might be up?

Slack 10 if that helps.

You may need to change the protocol to IMPS/2 e.g.
Code:
Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

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