Wheel of USB mouse

#1 Post by VSB »

I use unstable package, Xorg 6.8.2. Prefer KDE 3.4.2. My mouse is 2-buttons+wheel USB. In xorg.conf I wrote:

Option "Driver" "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

But mouse wheel scrolling is still unavailable, wheel is working as 3-rd button only. Please suggest me a correct configurations.
P.S. Don't post any jokes. In windows my mouse working correctly.

You might try adding
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Also, not sure you need the 'Option "Buttons" "5"' in there.

For what it's worth, before I changed it for a trackball, my XF86Config-4 had this:

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Configured Mouse"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"CorePointer"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/input/mice"
	Option		"Protocol"		"ImPS/2"
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
	Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"4 5"
EndSection
This is with xfree86 on stable, so I'm not sure it's completely correct for xorg.
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1
