Probably a simple to fix problem, but does anybody know how i can make it so my scroll wheel works. Cause i have a logitech mouse that has left right click and a scroll wheel, pretty standard thing just was wondering how i could get the scroll wheel up and scrolling.

I had the same prob good luck

Dear Mdkuser,
Here is how I got microsoft scroll mouse to work.

This is the file:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf-vesa

on your system it may be
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

This is the section to modify:

# 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"

# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:
# Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
# Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2
# MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse
# ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"

MODIFIED FILE:
# 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"

# The available mouse protocols types that you can set below are:
# Auto BusMouse GlidePoint GlidePointPS/2 IntelliMouse IMPS/2
# Logitech Microsoft MMHitTab MMSeries Mouseman MouseManPlusPS/2
# MouseSystems NetMousePS/2 NetScrollPS/2 OSMouse PS/2 SysMouse
# ThinkingMouse ThinkingMousePS/2 Xqueue
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" #modified this line

Option "ZAxis Mapping" "4 5" #added this line

The above procedure worked for me a couple weeks ago. It was way easier than I initially thought it would be, and I felt a totally inappropriate sense of accomplishment for getting it. But it worked!

I just tried it how you typed verbetum and it didn't work untill I changed it from "ZAxis Mapping" to "ZAxisMapping" not to nit pick but I just want things to work.
