Hello fellow Linux-enthusiasts,
Straightforward question: I have a ps/2 scroll mouse. How can I configure the scroll feature to work with Linux

Though you could just as easily use the SEARCH on this BBS, I'll give you the answer.

in XF86Config, in your pointer/mouse section add

ZAxisMapping 4 5
Buttons 3

and for 4.x series of XF86Config I think its'

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "3"

also, change the protocol from PS/2 to IMPS/2

and restart your x Server, if it still doesn't work with netscape but works with everything else look around for IMWheel
