Posted: Fri Aug 20, 2004 6:10 pm Post subject: Scroll Wheel of Mouse does not work |
|
|
Gentoo 2004.2
Kernel 2.6.8, Xorg-x11-6.7.0
I use a USB mouse, and the scroll wheel of that mouse does not perform the scroll function. But it works as the center button (for paste).
The scroll wheel of my PS2 mouse has the exactly same problem
Is there any idea for this?
Thanks |

You should probably post your X configuration. Did you set the ZAxisMapping for your mouse InputDevice? |

your X config is in :
/etc/X11
for xorg :
xorg.conf
for Xfree
XF86Config.conf
find your mouse configuration e.g:
Code: |
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "Mouse1" (can be something else in ur conf)
Driver "mouse" (can be something else in ur conf)
Option "Protocol" "Auto" (can be something else in ur conf)
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" (can be something else in ur conf)
Add:
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" (Add this)
|
Restart X |

I went into the /etc/X11, there is only a xorg.conf.example file, there is no xorg.conf file. Do I need to copy the example file to the xorg.conf?
And there are a lot of contents inside that file? What should I do with them? |

X starts correctly? Without that file it shouldn't even start. |

Yes, I use GNOME 2.6 Desktop. Everything is fine.
Am I wrong with some thing?
Here are all the files I have inside /etc/X11
. chooser.sh proxymngr sysconfig xkb
.. dm rstart twm xloadimagerc
Sessions fs serverconfig wmconfig xorg.conf.example
X gdm startDM.sh xdm xserver
app-defaults lbxproxy starthere xinit xsm |

If xorg.conf doesn't exist it searches for the old XF86Config.conf that was used for xfree. |

Oh yes, the little details we don't think about. However, he doesn't seem to have XF86Config either. |

Did you install xorg.conf into another directory? If you don't run xorgconfig as root, it will save it to your /home/USER folder. _________________ Knowledge is power.
