Trying to fix mousescroll broke my mouse!


So I wanted to get my mousescroll working on my laptop so I added the line

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

and changed

Option "Protocol" "PS/2" to
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" like I've read (and it works on my desktop)

Booting into X rewarded me with a mouse that wasn't working. When I changed it back to normal mouse still won't work. I've looked for typos or errors like 20 tiems and tried many things and the mouse just won't work. This is literally my entire mouse section:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
EndSection

I don't understand what the problem. I love slack on my desktop and have done much with it but it has been nothing but a nightmare on this laptop Took 4 install tries before the system would even boot.
