Hi,
The wheel of my mouse stopped working in either KDE4 or E17 two days ago. I have searched the forums but not found a fix. It appears to be a problem with X. I have tried various changes to my xorg.conf to no avail. In XEV, the left-most button shows as button 1, the rightmost button as button 3. When I press the wheel it shows as button 2 but when I roll the wheel it does nothing. The mouse is one of the early logitech wheel mice. Nothing fancy. Here is the relevant portion of my xorg.conf;
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
I have also tried ZAxismapping with "4 5 6 7" and "Device" "/dev/psaux" and that doesn't work either.
Any ideas??? I hadn't realized just how much one uses the wheel!

Are you sure it is not just broken?

It works fine on my laptop.

I found a post on a Suse forum and changed the ExpolrerPS/2 to all lowercase, rebooted the machine and it works now. Weird or what???
Thanks,
Jim
