The usb mouse scroll wheel does not work, I have read lots of posts and tried many ways to modified /etc/XF86config-4, but it still not work, it seems it a commant problem for the usb scroll wheel mice users. the core of my /etc/XF86Config-4 is below:
****************************************************************
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
# PS/2 Mouse using /dev/input/mice in Kernel 2.6
# Serial Mouse not detected
InputDevice "USB Mouse" "CorePointer"
***********************************************************************

EndSection

Try this:

cp XFree86-4 xorg.conf

That's what worked for me when switching over to xorg.

cp XFree86-4 xorg.conf or cp XF86Config-4 xorg.conf ?

Rename the XFree86 config file that hwd creates to xorg.conf. Put it in the same directory.

it would be :

cp XF86Config-4 (or XF86Config) xorg.conf

as long as you are in /etc/X11 if you are not then you will have to add /etc/X11 in front of both.

# cd /etc/X11
# cp XF86Config-4 xorg.conf

and then reboot....................the usb mouse's scroll wheel works

many thanks, mate

I could run xmule in the xfree86, but when it was updated to xorg, the xmule got problems:

[yang@myhost yang]# xmule
xmule: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk-2.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

maybe reinstall or rebuild xmule. but the maintainer should be informed of this since more and more people will be using xorg.
