A7n8x-e deluxe nforce2 mobo + mouse scroll wheel?

[kachaffeous]

Has anyone been able to get a nforce2 motherboard usb working correctly with a logitech scroll mouse. I just got a the Asus mobo and while the mouse works the scroll wheel does not. I have the proper ZAxisMapping in my XF86Config file (I actually didn't do a complete reinistall, I just moved the harddrives to the new mobo and recompiled the kernel).

The only thing that is weird is that before I was using /dev/input/mice for the driver which
no longer works. I have to use /dev/mouse even though I'm plugged into a usb port.

Other info:
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices returns nothing
cat /dev/input/mice returns nothing
Logitech Wireless Optical mouse (M-RM63) (5 buttons?, left,right,middle, wheel, thumb)
Asus A7n8x-e deluxe.
I have tried IMPS/2, ExplorerPS/2, and auto as protocols
I have compiled in USB1 and USB2 support in the kernel (have not tried modules)
The actual wheel works as a press action button (ie open new tab in Firebird)

Any help is appreciated, not having a scroll wheel drives me crazy.

i've got almost the exact same setup as you, hardware wise, and i have no problems with the wheel, some times it stops working in mozilla-firebird though.

here's my part in mu x config

Did you compile the appropriate support within your kernel? I'm not running Gentoo right now but I have had my Logitech MX-700 Wireless laser USB mouse work under Gentoo Linux with all the buttons working! This weekend I will be back to good ol' Gentoo Linux. I'm tired of Winblows and their bloody security patches. Give me Gentoo or give me death!

Follow this guide & tweak your XConfig file accordingly.
