I have a USB opticle wheel mouse. Plugged in and it is working. However, the
wheel doesn't seem to work. What do I have to do?

You probably just need to add the zaxismapping option to the mouse section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Here's my how my ZAxisMapping option looks (the bottom line):
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Thanks ozar,
I probably wasn't too clear on the question. This is a second
mouse in the system. I am using it as a dynamic one.
sorry about the confusion.

Be aware that "auto" does not work in Xorg 7.

hmmm. OK. I have two wheel mouse. One PS/2 and one
opticle. I use the opticle one dynamically. The PS/2 one
works perfectly but I don't know how to configure the
opticle one to use the wheel.

Is it just some random optical wheel mouse, or is it one of them Logitech models with a dozen buttons?
Edit: Second mouse in the system? "Dynamic"? I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that you could use two mice at a time... :shock:

It is a M$ Starck opticle mouse. Very basic mouse. Two button with a wheel.

Thanks wiremore. It worked! There are 4 mouse devices in my xorg.conf, two
of them are 'auto'. I changed them to imps/2 and it works now. Don't know which
is which though but I don't mind. :-)
