I have a dual-boot system with Win XP Pro and RedHat 8.0 Pro and am trying to get my Microsoft Trackball Explorer 1.0 to work in RedHat... I can use just about any drivers and get the two left buttons and the trackball to work but can't get the scroll wheel or two right buttons to work. It uses Intellimouse 3.0 software on Windows...
Does anyone know how I can get this thing to work? Your input would be greatly appreciated... I'm running it though a PS/2 port through my KVM but I don't think that's the problem.
It has 4 buttons, scroll wheel and optical trackball. Thanks!

What does the mouse section of your XF86Config look like?

You need the following specified in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
In the mouse section. I'm sure RedHat will have a tool to do this via a GUI. Try running the command redhat-config-mouse

Boy do I need to learn vi! I couldn't get the right click to work and had to open the file through shell to edit it...
Anyway, thanks for the help - it worked. My scroll is now working... other two buttons aren't but I'm not worried about that. As long as the scroll wheel is working I'm happy. :)

I'm in a similar situation. Five button mouse, only have two and the wheel working, and that's good enough for me. :)

Check out this link (http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.1/mouse.html) for details. It should have all the info to make your mouse fully functional. I think it's been posted before, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
