Mouse Wheel stopped working [SOLVED]

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?

Re: Mouse Wheel stopped working [SOLVED]

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
