Slackware scroll problem

Lord_Tenebrus · 05-16-2006, 03:16 PM

now i know there are probably a thousand such threads and please don't get angry at me...
i've set the ZAxisMapping "4 5" and the Buttons 5 but still no scroll...
where could be the problem...
had to preinstall since i f*cked up the whole slack (don't ask) and now i can't even set up a WP
btw can i combine two threads and ask : HOW THE HELL WAS THAT EXACTLY done...
i use the fsetbg in the ~./fluxbox/startup but it tells me there's SOME problem...
gawd i want a better PC...
thnx in advance...

Starting with the mouse, try a different driver type in /etc/X11/xorg.conf Sometimes, 'auto' works, 'imps2', other options are there too.

Try looking at my xorg.conf , and see if it helps

As for the second part, how about a little more detail? How did you "Windows up" the install? (Cursing saying 'Windows' to me is just plain funny...lol)
And what are you trying to accomplish? What version of Slackware were you trying to install? And what hardware are you trying to setup?

# On platforms where PnP mouse detection is supported the following

# 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"
# The mouse device. The device is normally set to /dev/mouse,
# which is usually a symbolic link to the real device.

Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
# Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
# Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
# Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"

# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.

# Option "Protocol" "Xqueue"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.

# Option "BaudRate" "9600"
# Option "SampleRate" "150"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

Option "Emulate3Buttons"
# Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

what's wrong with the picture

Try one of the other protocols, like IMPS/2

I DO beleive it....

Happens all the time. Just remember the solution, and if others have the same issue, try to let them know how to resolve it too.
