mouse configuration in LM8.0

[Ludootje]

I just have LinuxMandrake8.1 and my wheelmouse isn't working, where can i configure that?

[Dark Ninja]

Generally speaking, the mouse will be configurable during installation. I know my mouse did not work so well in Mandrake 8.0 (at least the wheel part didn't), but it was fixed with 8.1. However, I have heard numerous problems with getting Micrsoft's WheelMouse to work under Linux. (This is any distro - not just Mandrake.)

I have my Logitech MouseMan+ (the best mouse until the optical MouseMan+ came out) configured, however I would like to fine tune the wheel. Is there any place I should look to set how far the wheel scrolls per turn? I've checked all of the configuration applets and suspect I should be looking to edit a config file somewhere in the background.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm using 8.1 for mouse configuration in LM 8.1 goto:

K>Configuration>KDE>Peripherals>Mouse

On the advanced tab you can adjust mouse settings like Acceleration and Mousewheel adjustments.
