how do i configure this mouse?

[Copper]

i just bought a mouse (ps2) with a wheel in the middle. The problem is the wheel doesn't seems to works. The exact picture of the mouse is here: http://www.a4tech.com/sww-25.JPG

My XF86Config is as follows:

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Resolution" "200"


I've tried putting protocol to IMPS/2, and add the Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" to in but the wheel still won't work.
Btw, i don't use Emulate3buttons and my X version is 4.01.

I had the same mouse and the same problem.
Configure as IMPs2 mouse, add the ZAxis mapping line and then you need to download and install a program called IMWheel.
I did it and now my mousewheel works.
Hope this helps.

Change:
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
to
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"

then add:
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"


restart your x session, then after that if you're mouse wheel still doesn't work (eg. for netscape) get IMWheel, compile it, and put the following into your ~/.xinitrc
imwheel -k &


You should have your mouse wheel working perfectly after that.

Note(to TheLinuxDuck): Only XFree 4.x have the _Option "Var" "Value"_ setup for their XF86Config-4 files, XFree 3.3.6 had _var "value"_ or _var value_

I know. If it wasn't working as he had posted, and he was running a version prior to 4, that would give a reason. I was merely trying to deduce, logically, why he was having troubles. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
