It Works!! .....sorta.....

I put in the command lines for the mouse in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.

code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" Option "Buttons" "5" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"EndSection

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




The dash four made all the difference. Different file than XF86Config. So the mouse wheel worked but only in the XF86Config file! Wouldn't respond on any other window... This is so bizarre. Why when I config resolution and screen depth with results, wont the mouse config to any other window? Anyone have this problem?

I even configured my screen resolution and screen depth (32/much better!) in the XF86Config-4 file. So configuring with this file in root seems to work. I tried to configure in the XF86Config file yesterday but that didn't work. Can any of you configure with results in the XF86Config file?

to get my mouse wheele working i simply ran the Xconfigurator command as root the chose (3 buttun mouse) then I unchecked the emulate 3 buttons box (wheele will not work if the 3 button emulator is enabled). and that was all i needed to do the mouse wheele works great now.
