mouse scroll not working

rayzorblayde · 2004-01-13 03:19:33

First let me just say that I DO have the Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" line in my XF86Config file.

that said, my mouse scroll wheel still doesn't work. It is a logitech mx700 and I'm using usbmouse as my device. should that be different? i'm not sure what to do. with every other distro, the zaxismapping had worked just fine, but i've never had to set the device myself, so i'm thinking maybe that should be something else? anyway, i'd appreciate any help.

thanks

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option      "Buttons" "3"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

this is what i have for my PS/2 optical mouse

hmmm.... well, i have a usb optical mouse. everything there is the same except i have my protocol on 'auto' and my device set to '/dev/usbmouse'

i found an Imwheel program i'm trying to get installed that is supposed to make all the buttons work. that sure would be nice to have them all work

this seems to be the only way it works with my intelli mouse:

XF86Config:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse0"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
    Option      "Buttons" "7"
    Option      "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection

first add those lines to your /etc/X11/xinit/.xinitrc before you start your windowmanager:

xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
imwheel -k -p -b "67"

and your ~/.imwheelrc should look like this:

".*"
None, Up, Alt_L|Left
None, Down, Alt_L|Right

of course, you'll have to install imwheel, i actually haven't installed it really, just copied the binary from another box ....
i just see it isn't in pacman, i have a package somewhere, but can't find it, but the binary himself will do the job, too. U should place it in /usr/bin or so :

Don't install imwheel, instead try changing the protocol from auto to imps/2.
