microsoft intellimouse

[optech]

i have an intellimouse. it worked fine in mandrake 7.2, but when i installed mandrake 8.0, i can only pick the mouse without the wheel... well, i have the wheel...
i figure it's something to do with Xfree86, but i can't find it... blarg...

any help?
i just want to scroll!!

I use imwheel to let me use the scroll wheel. You can get it from http://freshmeat.net

Optech,

Here's an entry ripped from my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file (in RH7):

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
EndSection

Note the ZAxisMapping option. That's got my wheel working.

Good luck.

Bill are you using Debian? Optech's gotta watch out for the "Option" lines, as I believe that Mandy doesn't use those. I might be wrong though. It wasn't present in XFree86 3, but it might be in 4.

X4
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

X3.x.x
ZAxisMapping 4 5

Believe that to be correct. Anyone?
