mouse scroll

I have searched and fiddled around for an answer to this, but nothing seems to work. I have a basic logitech 3 button (5 including scroll directions) usb mouse with a ps/2 converter on it. My las xorg.conf simply had an option for buttons 5 and zaxismapping 4 5. It worked fine. I try the same thing now and it doesn't work, any ideas? Nothing has changed that I know of.

Edit: Another question, I also looked around for this, but how does one configure gpm? or if it is automatically configured/needs no configuration, how do you use it?

Re: mouse scroll

Had same problem a while back...solution was....
==========================================================
Solved my problem by installation of xorg.conf.hwd "SAMPLE" into /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the "mv" command.

The xorg.conf file needs to be in /etc/x11.....

Re: mouse scroll

What Logitech model is it?

Can you post the mouse section of your xorg.conf file so we can have a looksee?

Have you tried the mouse in another distro or OS since it stopped working to see if the mouse is perhaps defective?

Re: mouse scroll

I think I'll jsut get a new mouse and try it, as I don't know what the model is, save that it is a basic old logitech. My mosue section is as follows

# **********************************************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "Buttons" "5"

# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.

#    Option "Resolution"        "500"

# When using XQUEUE, comment out the above two lines, and uncomment
# the following line.

#    Option "Protocol"  "Xqueue"

# Baudrate and SampleRate are only for some Logitech mice. In
# almost every case these lines should be omitted.

#    Option "BaudRate"  "9600"
#    Option "SampleRate"        "150"

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

#    Option "Emulate3Buttons"
#    Option "Emulate3Timeout"    "50"

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

#    Option "ChordMiddle"

EndSection

I have not tried it with another distro, but it seemed to work ok on an xp home box.

Re: mouse scroll

Yeah, probably should try a new one.  In the interim, here's mine:

    Identifier    "Mouse1"
    Driver    "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

It's identical to yours except for the protocol line, and it seems to be working fine.
