Logitech Mouseman USB

[envirodug]

Does anyone know how i can get the wheel on my Logitech mouseman to work under RedHat Linux 7.1? i'd mostly like to use it in netscape, but in all programs would be useful too. it does work on the command shell.

Edit the Pointer section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file to include this line:

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

In order for it to work in Netscape, it has to be version 6. But didn't RH7.1 come with Mozilla? That's more stable and it already comes with wheel mouse support (assuming you've entered the line above).

add this to the file ~/.Xresources to get the wheel to wok in NS4.X

else billsabub is right, mozilla is nicer.
