Can't get mouse wheel working

I'm using a PS/2 wheel mouse, but unfortunately the wheel doesn't seem to get recognized.

here is part of my my xorg.conf file.

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier    "Mouse1"
    Driver    "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/psaux"

Re: Can't get mouse wheel working

Try this:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "USB Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
 Option  "SendCoreEvents" "true"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ExplorerPS/2"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
        Option          "Buttons"               "5"
EndSection

Your config prob wont be exactly the same since you are using ps2.. but you get the jist.

I added that option and it worked.  Thanks a million!

Re: Can't get mouse wheel working

What if you have the ZAxisMapping and it still doesn't work?  This is my section: 

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option "Protocol"    "IMPS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/input/mice"
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

I've also tried the ExplorerPS/2 for protocol. 

The thing is, it did work the first time I was in XFCE4.

Re: Can't get mouse wheel working

try "Emulate3Buttons" "no" or comment the line out,

Re: Can't get mouse wheel working

Still no luck.  Could it be a setting in XFCE4?  Like I said, it did work the first time I started XFCE.

Re: Can't get mouse wheel working

if you are using arch stock kernel 2.6.9 without hotplug in the daemons array you have to load the usb modules in the modules array in rc.conf,

read the latest newsletter,


arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy

Re: Can't get mouse wheel working

Adding hotplug into the daemons fixed the problem.  Thanks!

Re: Can't get mouse wheel working

some people don't like to run hotplug in the daemons array,
you could load them in rc.conf


arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy
