Unresponsive scroll mouse


Hi,
I just installed 10.2 on my box. Everything worked as it should (well, mostly). But there's this glitch that I can't fix. My mouse (Logitech, PS/2), just doesn't scroll. I have this in my xorg.conf:

Code:
Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier      "Mouse1"
         Driver          "mouse"
         Option          "Protocol"      "PS/2"
         Option          "Device"        "/dev/mouse"
EndSection
If I insert these :

Code:
  Option          "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
         Option          "Buttons"       "5"
I get an error when I start X, saying "4 is not a valid parameter". I tried a lot of different things, but I just can't get it to work. Please advise. Thanks.

Well, PS/2 will not give you a working wheel either.

Perhaps there is a typo in xorg.conf that is giving you the error regarding "4
Post the relevent section of xorg.conf via cut and paste if you can't find it.

I don't know if you did that above or simply retyped the mouse section.

Try this:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/mouse"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
I think you don't need option "Buttons" "5".
