Side scrolling Apple mouse problem.
 
I just got a new mouse that has the side scrolling function. The mouse is none other than Apple's "mighty mouse." Anyway regular scrolling works fine, but side scrolling doesn't. To remedy this problem I added
Quote:

Option "Buttons" "7" and Option "ZaxisMapping" "6 7"
to my xorg.conf file, But no success. Then I tried to manually set the buttons on the mouse with
Quote:

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
Then I used xev to check the button assignments, but buttons 6 and 7 still didn't work. The thing is that xev doesn't register any button events when I use the side scroll buttons. It seems unlikely that this is a driver problem because other mice with several "extra" buttons work fine in Linux. Does anyone have a working configuration for this mouse?

My xorg.conf:
Quote:

Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZaxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "ZaxisMapping" "6 7"
